An Improved Protocol for High-Efficiency and Cost-Effective CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Knock-ins in C. elegans

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology-directed precise genome editing using long single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) donors has expanded the possibilities for generating defined genetic modifications. However, the required ssDNA donor preparation can be technically demanding and often requires extensive locus-specific sequence design. Here, we examined parameters influencing ssDNA donor-mediated genome editing…
