  • Patent number: 11932859
    Abstract: Methods are provided herein for assembling at least two nucleic acids using a sequence specific nuclease agent (e.g., a gRNA-Cas complex) to create end sequences having complementarity and subsequently assembling the overlapping complementary sequences. The nuclease agent (e.g., a gRNA-Cas complex) can create double strand breaks in dsDNA in order to create overlapping end sequences or can create nicks on each strand to produce complementary overhanging end sequences. Assembly using the method described herein can assemble any nucleic acids having overlapping sequences or can use a joiner oligo to assemble sequences without complementary ends.

  • Publication number: 20210227812
    Abstract: Non-human animal genomes, non-human animal cells, and non-human animals comprising a humanized PNPLA3 locus and methods of making and 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 PNPLA3 locus express a human PNPLA3 protein or a chimeric PNPLA3 protein, fragments of which are from human PNPLA3. Methods are provided for using such non-human animals comprising a humanized PNPLA3 locus to assess in vivo efficacy of human-PNPLA3-targeting reagents such as nuclease agents designed to target human PNPLA3.
