Genome Editing by CRISPR/Cas9 in Polyploids

CRISPR/Cas system has been widely used for genome editing in the past few years. Even though it has been performed in many polyploid species to date, its efficient accomplishment in these organisms is still a challenge. The presence of multiple homoeologous genes as targets for their editing require...

Description
Summary:CRISPR/Cas system has been widely used for genome editing in the past few years. Even though it has been performed in many polyploid species to date, its efficient accomplishment in these organisms is still a challenge. The presence of multiple homoeologous genes as targets for their editing requires more rigorous work and specific needs to assess successful genome editing. Here, we describe a general stepwise protocol to select target sites, design sgRNAs, indicate vector requirements, and screen CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in polyploid species.
