CRISPR gene editing and genotyping strategy for the generation of Rps12flox and Rps12KO.
(A) Diagram of the WT, Flox, and KO alleles of Rps12 generated in this study indicating the position of Snord100 and Snora33 (snoRNA),Cas9 gRNAs target locations, and primers used for genotyping. The homology arms starting sites are indicated and the ends fall outside of the Rps12 locus. To identify the first transformants, two pair of primers were used for PCR amplification: F2/R2 and F3/R3. F2 and R3 fall outside of the sequence covered by the homology arms, to ensure the inserts are on the correct location. The presence of LoxP sites was confirmed by Sanger sequencing using primers F1 and F4 for F2/R2 fragments, and with F3 and R3 for F3/R3 fragments. To determine excision of exons 2 and 3 by Cre-ERT recombination primers F1 and R1 were used, which generate a 900 bp fragment in Rps12+ and a 300 bp fragment in RpS12KO (B).
