    Development of a mono-promoter-driven CRISPR/Cas9 system in mammalian cells

    The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been used for spatio-temporal gene modification through the ubiquitous expression of gRNA by an RNA polymerase III promoter and the controlled expression of Cas9 using a tissue-speci...

    Generation of genetically modified mice using SpCas9-NG engineered nuclease

    Although genetically modified mice can be generated with high efficiency by using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in mouse zygotes, only the loci with a protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) sequence are target...

    High-fidelity endonuclease variant HypaCas9 facilitates accurate allele-specific gene modification in mouse zygotes

    CRISPR/Cas9 has been widely used for the efficient generation of genetically modified animals; however, this system could have unexpected off-target effects. In the present study, we confirmed the validity of ...

    Cooperative effects of oocytes and estrogen on the forkhead box L2 expression in mural granulosa cells in mice

    Forkhead box L2 (FOXL2) plays a critical role in the development and function of mammalian ovaries. In fact, the causative effects of FOXL2 misregulations have been identified in many ovarian diseases, such as...
