  • Publication number: 20190098879
    Abstract: Non-human animal genomes, non-human animal cells, and non-human animals comprising a humanized TTR locus and methods of using such non-human animal genomes, non-human animal cells, and non-human animals are provided. Non-human animal cells or non-human animals comprising a humanized TTR locus express a human transthyretin protein or a chimeric transthyretin protein, fragments of which are from human transthyretin. Methods are provided for using such non-human animals comprising a humanized TTR locus to assess in vivo efficacy of human-TTR-targeting reagents such as nuclease agents designed to target human TTR. Methods are also provided for making such non-human animals comprising a humanized TTR locus.

  • Publication number: 20190032156
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for assessing CRISPR/Cas-induced recombination of a target genomic locus with an exogenous donor nucleic acid in vivo or ex vivo. The methods and compositions employ non-human animals comprising a CRISPR reporter such as a genomically integrated CRISPR reporter for detecting and measuring CRISPR/Cas-induced repair of a coding sequence for a catalytically inactive reporter protein through recombination with an exogenous donor nucleic acid. Methods and compositions are also provided for making and using these non-human animals.

  • Publication number: 20190032092
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for assessing CRISPR/Cas-mediated non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) activity and/or CRISPR/Cas-induced recombination of a target genomic locus with an exogenous donor nucleic acid in vivo or ex vivo. The methods and compositions employ non-human animals comprising a CRISPR reporter such as a genomically integrated CRISPR reporter for detecting and measuring targeted excision of a sequence between two CRISPR/Cas nuclease cleavage sites or disruption of a sequence near a CRISPR/Cas nuclease cleavage site and/or measuring CRISPR/Cas-induced recombination of the CRISPR reporter with an exogenous donor nucleic acid to convert the coding sequence for a first reporter protein to the coding sequence for a different second reporter protein. Methods and compositions are also provided for making and using these non-human animals.

  • Publication number: 20190032155
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided herein for assessing CRISPR/Cas-mediated non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) activity and/or CRISPR/Cas-induced recombination of a target genomic locus with an exogenous donor nucleic acid in vivo and ex vivo. The methods and compositions employ cells and non-human animals comprising a Cas expression cassette such as a genomically integrated Cas expression cassette so that the Cas protein can be constitutively available or available in a tissue-specific or temporal-specific manner. Methods and compositions are also provided for making and using these non-human animals, including use of these non-human animals to assess CRISPR/Cas activity in vivo via adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated delivery of guide RNAs to the non-human animals.

  • Publication number: 20090149336
    Abstract: Methods and vectors (both DNA and retroviral) are provided for the construction of a Library of mutated cells. The Library will preferably contain mutations in essentially all genes present in the genome of the cells. The nature of the Library and the vectors allow for methods of screening for mutations in specific genes, and for gathering nucleotide sequence data from each mutated gene to provide a database of tagged gene sequences. Such a database provides a means to access the individual mutant cell clones contained in the Library. The invention includes the described Library, methods of making the same, and vectors used to construct the Library. Methods are also provided for accessing individual parts of the Library either by sequence or by pooling and screening. The invention also provides for the generation of non-human transgenic animals which are mutant for specific genes as isolated and generated from the cells of the Library.
