  • Publication number: 20160145646
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for creating and promoting biallelic targeted modifications to genomes within cells and for producing non-human animals comprising the modified genomes. Also provided are compositions and methods for modifying a genome within a cell that is heterozygous for an allele to become homozygous for that allele. The methods make use of Cas proteins and two or more guide RNAs that target different locations within the same genomic target locus. Also provided are methods of identifying cells with modified genomes.

  • Publication number: 20160060657
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for modifying a genomic locus of interest in a eukaryotic cell, a mammalian cell, a human cell or a non-human mammalian cell using a large targeting vector (LTVEC) comprising various endogenous or exogenous nucleic acid sequences as described herein. Further methods combine the use of the LTVEC with a CRISPR/Cas system. Compositions and methods for generating a genetically modified non-human animal comprising one or more targeted genetic modifications in their germline are also provided.
