Tissues including placenta, umbilical cord, ear skin fibroblasts,
peripheral blood were collected and digested in lysis buffer (10 μM
Tris-HCl, 0.4 M NaCl, 2 μM EDTA, 1% SDS and 100
μg/ml Proteinase K). The genomic DNA was extracted from lysate by
phenol-chloroform recovered by alcohol precipitation. Genomic mutations of
miscarried and live monkeys were identified by T7EN1 cleavage assay with T7
Endonuclease (NEB) and Sanger sequencing as described previously (Liu et al., 2014 (link)). Age- and
gender-matched WT controls were housed and fed together with mutants under
the same ambient condition. PCR products with mutations detected by T7EN1
cleavage assay were sub-cloned into T vector (Takara). For each sample,
colonies were picked up randomly and Sanger sequenced by M13-47 primer.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pT3TS-zCas9 and T7-gRNA plasmids were from Chen lab52 (link) through Addgene. Following the published protocol52 (link), nls-zCas9-nls mRNA was synthesized with an mMESSAGE mMACHINE T3 kit (ThermoFisher, AM1348) and recovered with lithium chloride precipitation. lpl gRNA was generated using a MEGAshortscript T7 kit (ThermoFisher, AM1354) and purified using a mirVana miRNA isolation kit (ThermoFisher, AM1560). The zebrafish lpl genomic target sequence was 5′-ggctgaaattgattatccttGGG-3′, in which the first 20 nt was the gRNA template and the last 3 nt was protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) required for CRISPR/Cas9 function. 30 pg lpl gRNA and 150 pg nls-zCas9-nls mRNA were injected into 1–2 cells stage embryos. Genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted from whole embryos or from adult tail tissue using a KAPA Express Extract Kit (KAPA Biosystems, Cat. KR0383). The gDNA fragment containing the target site was amplified using KOD DNA polymerase (EMD Millipore, Cat. 71086) and digested with T7 endonuclease (NEB, Cat. M0302). Primers used for PCR amplification of lpl gDNA fragment were 5′-aacatcagcctcctacacaa-3′ and 5′-tcactcgtttctcatgcgaa-3′.

Circularization and Fragmentation of Illumina Libraries

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pooled Illumina libraries were first circularized by Gibson assembly with a DNA splint containing end sequences complementary to ends of Illumina libraries (Supplemental Table S1). Illumina libraries and DNA splint were mixed at a 1:1 ng ratio using NEBuilder HiFi DNA assembly master mix (NEB E2621). Any noncircularized DNA was digested overnight using ExoI, ExoIII, and Lambda exonuclease (all NEB). The reaction was then cleaned up using SPRI beads at a 0.85:1 (bead:sample) ratio. The circularized library was then used for an overnight RCA reaction using Phi29 (NEB) with random hexamer primers. The RCA product was debranched with T7 endonuclease (NEB) for 2 h at 37°C and then cleaned using a Zymo DNA Clean and Concentrator column-5 (Zymo D4013). The cleaned RCA product was digested using NEBNext dsDNA fragmentase (NEB M0348) following the manufacturer's protocol with a 10-min incubation. For the regular Tn5 library, digested RCA product was cleaned using SPRI beads. For all other libraries, the digested RCA product was size-selected using a 1% low-melt agarose gel: DNA between 2 and 10 kb was excised from the gel, which was then digested using NEB beta-agarase. DNA was then cleaned using SPRI beads.

The NKD2-specific guide RNA (forward 5′-CACCGACTCCAGTGCGATGTCTCGG -3′; reverse 5′-AAACCCGAGACATCGCACTGGAGTC -3′) were cloned into pL-CRISPR.EFS.GFP (Addgene #57818) using BsmBI restriction digestion. Lentiviral particles were produced by transient co transfection of HEK293T cells with lentiviral transfer plasmid, packaging plasmid psPAX2 (Addgene #12260) and VSVG packaging plasmid pMD2.G (Addgene #12259) using TransIT-LT (Mirus). Viral supernatants were collected 48-72 hours after transfection, clarified by centrifugation, supplemented with 10% FCS and Polybrene (Sigma-Aldrich, final concentration of 8μg/ml) and 0.45μm filtered (Millipore; SLHP033RS). Cell transduction was performed by incubating the PDGFRß cells with viral supernatants for 48hrs. eGFP expressing cells were single cell sorted into 96-well plates. Expanded colonies were assessed for mutations with mismatch detection assay: gDNA spanning the CRISPR target site was PCR amplified and analyzed by T7EI digest (T7 Endonuclease, NEB M0302S). To determine specific mutation events on both alleles within the clones grown, the PCR product was subcloned into the pCR™ 4Blunt-TOPO vector (Thermo Scientific K287520). Minimum 6 colonies per CRISPR-clone were grown and sent for sanger sequencing (Clone C2: 30 colonies have been sequenced).

CRISPR Editing Detection via PCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect CRISPR edits, we amplified a 0.5 to 1 kb genomic region flanking the potential CRISPR editing site by PCR. The PCR product from each candidate plant was mixed with a roughly equivalent amount of wild‐type PCR product of the same locus. The mixture was denatured and annealed in a PCR machine and subsequently digested with 1 µl of T7 endonuclease (New England Biolabs) following the manufacturer's recommendations. We examined the digest on a 1% agarose gel.

Screening for Genomic Deletions via T7 Endonuclease Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA (gDNA) from individual clones (3-8 × 104 cells) was isolated using the QIAamp DNA Micro Kit (Qiagen). To screen for the presence of deletions/ mutations, a T7 endonuclease cleavage assay was used28 (link). PCR primers were designed to amplify a ~1000 bp region surrounding the area targeted by the sgRNAs (“Long PCR”, Extended Data 5). The PCR amplification was performed using the high fidelity KOD Hot Start DNA polymerase (Novagen). 8.5 μl of each PCR product were denatured and re-annealed, followed by addition of 5 units of T7 endonuclease (New England Biolabs). As an independent confirmation of the presence of deletions, we used primers complementary to the deleted region, therefore incapable of generating any PCR product in deleted clones (“Short-PCR”, Extended Data 5).

A PCR was performed on genomic DNA extracted from cells infected with Ksr1 or scrambled sgRNAs. For sgRNA #1, the following primer combination was used (F, TCACGGTGTCATGCTCT and R, TGATACACGGCACCATT). For sgRNAs #2 and #3, the following primer combination was used (F, GCCAGAAAGCAGATGCGA and R, TCACGCTGCCGCATCAG). Each PCR product (200 ng) was incubated for 10 min at 95 °C, slowly cooled down to 30 °C and incubated for 1 h with 10 units T7 endonuclease (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) at 37 °C. Samples were separated on a 10% polyacrylamide gel in TBE buffer. For Ksr1 sgRNA #1, the expected size of the PCR product was 513 bp and cleavage by Cas9 resulted in fragments of 362 and 151 bp. For Ksr1 sgRNA #2, the expected size of the PCR product was 547 bp and cleavage by Cas9 resulted in fragments of 338 and 209 bp. For Ksr1 sgRNA #3, the expected size of the PCR product was also 547 bp and cleavage by Cas9 resulted in fragments of 385 and 162 bp.

CRISPR Mutation Detection Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was prepared from CRISPR-treated C2C12 cells using QuickExtract (Lucigen, Madison, WI, USA). The targeted region of CALM1 (400 bp) was PCR amplified using AmpliTaq Gold (ThermoFisher). The PCR amplicons were heated to 95°C and then slowly re-annealed so that mismatches would occur between native (unmutated DNA) and CRISPR-edited DNA. Mismatches were detected using T7 endonuclease (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA), which cuts mismatched regions of duplex DNA, including single base mismatches. The extent of T7 cutting was quantified using gel electrophoresis.

Quantifying CRISPR-Cas9 Editing Efficiency

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cellular and viral DNA was isolated with the NucleoSpin TriPrep Kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany). The UL122/123 target regions were PCR-amplified by targeting either a small sequence (660 bp amplicon, Primers F: GTTCTCGTTGCAATCCTCGGTCAC and R: CGTGGCGGTAGGGTATGTGT) spanning the IE start codon or a larger PCR sequence consisting of the entire UL122/123 region (3862 bp amplicon; Primers F: ACATGAGGGGGAGAAGGACA and R: CGTGGCGGTAGGGTATGTGT). For the T7 assay, the small PCR product was purified with a NucleoSpin column. Two hundred nanograms of purified PCR products was denatured for five minutes at 95 °C and slowly re-annealed using three steps consisting of 15 s at 95 °C, 15 s at 85 °C and 30 s at 25 °C, followed by a 30 min digestion at 37 °C with T7 endonuclease (New England Biolab Inc., UK). The reaction was stopped by the addition of 2 μL 0.25 M EDTA, and the samples were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis on a Caliper LabChip GX device (PerkinElmer). The concentration and purity of each band was measured in comparison to an internal marker, which allowed us to quantify our digested and wild type (WT) bands. The percentage of indels was calculated based on the formula from Hsu et al[25 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA from each transgenic mouse and control wildtype mouse were isolated and purified from tails. Two steps
of PCR (nested PCR strategy, two sets of primers around the mutation site) were performed to get a single PCR product (a
single band checked on the gel). 4 primer sequences are: Chrdl1-p-5a: GTTCTCTGGAAGACAGGAAGTAC; Chrdl1-p-5b:
CAACCTGGGTTTCAGTATCATC; Chrdl1-p3a: GCTGTGGTTTCCATTCAAGG and Chrdl1-p-3b: CTATCCTCTATGCCCTGTGC. Primers Chrdl1-p-5a and
Chrdl1-p-3a will generate 1166 bp PCR product, and primers Chrdl1-p-5b and Chrdl1-p-3b will produce 644 bp PCR product.
644 bp PCR products were cleaned up by DNA Clean and Concentrator-25 kit (Zymo Research 11–305) then 1 ug of 644 bp
PCR products from each pup were denatured, annealed, and treated with T7 endonuclease (NEB M0302). Digested PCR products
were separated on an ethidium bromide-stained agarose gel (2%). For DNA sequencing, PCR products were cloned using the
CloneJet PCR Cloning Kit (Thermo Scientific K1231), and mutations were identified by sequencing to identify the actual
mutations (deletion or point mutations).
