To knockout the gene of interest, a 10–20 pL mixture of 100 ng/µL sgRNA and 200 ng/µL BE3 mRNA were microinjected into putative zygotes 10 h after IVF by using a micromanipulator (TransferMan, Eppendorf, Germany). In the control group, embryos were injected with the same amount of BE3 mRNA without sgRNA. To maximize the editing efficiency of the gene of interest, a cocktail of two or three sgRNAs was microinjected together with BE3 mRNA. Each sgRNA was kept at the same concentration (100 ng/µL).
