To obtain PGRP-LEΔ231::GFP, co-CRISPR strategy (targets: PGRP-LE and ebony e) was used to simplify the screening process.63 (link) Guide RNAs (PGRP-LE: AGTGCTTCCACATTGAGTCG; ebony: CCACAATTGTCGATCGTCA) were cloned into pCFD3–dU6: 3 gRNA (Addgene, 49410).
The y1w1118 PGRP-LE::GFP; attP2{nos-Cas9 y+} embryos were microinjected with guide vectors (pCFD3–dU6:3 gRNA; Addgene # 49410; into which the guide RNAs were cloned) at 100 ng/μL pCFD3 PGRP-LE and 100 ng/μL pCFD3 ebony and the corresponding single strand donor oligonucleotide ssODN at 100 ng/μL. G0 flies were crossed to the double balancer stock def w+/FM6; Sb/TM3Ser, e. Each F1 fly with ebony body color (chrIII: nosCas9∗e/TM3Ser,e) was crossed to the balancer stock FM7/Sqh or Y. Then its gDNA was extracted. PCR and sequencing screenings were performed on each F1 ebony fly in order to identify the potential presence of a deletion of amino acid 231.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
