Q

Embryonic stem cells

A

derived from undifferentiated cells of blastocyst ICM and can be pluripotent. they also can be maintained in culture and retain the ability to form all differentiated cells

Q

general process of pronuclear injection

A
  1. DNA injection into male pronucleus of fert. egg (before nucleuses merge)
  2. fert. egg grows into embryo
  3. introduce several embryos into mouse
  4. birth
  5. somatic cells are tested for presence of gene
  6. whichever mice have the presence of the gene are bred to test for the gene in germ cells
18
Q

what are 2 ways you access the germline?

A
  1. change DNA of fert. egg
  2. Blastocyst and ESCs by changing/adding cells of ICM
19
Q

What is a pro for pronuclear inj?

A

Fairly easy to perform
Can examine wide range of things
Wide species range

20
Q

Cons for pronuclear inj?

A

-Not a lot of control
-CNVs randomly inserted in head/tail arrays
-rearrangements and deletions may occur

21
Q

What is gene targeting in ES cells ?

A

Involves introducing a DNA construct at a precise site within the genome which allows specific mutations or deletions in the ESC allele
Then, replacement occurs by delivering constructed DNA and selecting for low homologous recombination probability

22
Q

What special factor is needed for gene targeting?

A

Requires lines of ESCs that can be propagated in culture and also be able to integrate into a developing embryo and differentiate into germ cells

23
Q

Cons of gene targeting

A

ONLY IN MOUSE

24
Q

Pros of gene targeting

A

Can replace genes, knock gene out, insert gene
More control

25
Q

Process of gene targeting

A
  1. Introduce a DNA fragment with the altered gene into many ES cells
  2. Grow to form colony
  3. Test for the rare colony in which the DNA fragment has replace one copy of normal gene
  4. Inject ES cells into early embryo after mice have mated and the embryo is retrieved
  5. early embryo partly formed from ESC
  6. Introduce early embryo into mouse
  7. birth
  8. somatic cells of offspring is tested for gene
  9. these mice are selected and bred to test for gene in germ line cells
26
Q

What is created from gene targeting

A

chimera

27
Q

What is nuclear transfer?

A

Cloning, full ESC

28
Q

Process of nuclear transfer

A
  1. Take somatic cell nucleus and remove pronuclei from haploid egg cell
  2. inject somatic cell nucleus into the haploid egg cell
  3. In vitro oocyte activation/embryo culture
  4. Embryo transfer into animal
29
Q

Disadvantages of nuclear transfer/cloning?

A

-Epigenetic problems - gene expression varies
-process is inefficient

30
Q

Advantages to nuclear transfer/cloning?

A

-Germline access to virtually all mammalian species

31
Q

What is gene editing?

A

CRISPR/Cas system
-Alters a gene rather than adding anything

32
Q

What is CRISPR

A

clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats

33
Q

what is CAS

A

CRISPR associated nuclease

34
Q

what does CRISPR-Cas 9 do?

A

-Alters a gene by injecting:
1. Guide RNA with homologous target sequence
2. CAS9
3. Replacement DNA
-Cas9 makes double stranded cut at target region
-Either knockout or edits the region by adding double stranded DNA that inserts into the cut

35
Q

Pros of gene editing

A
  1. broad species relevance
  2. rapidly evolving and increases in power
  3. can possibly create multiple gene modifications at the same time
36
Q

Con of gene editing

A
  1. less efficient for large DNA additions
37
Q

In gene targeting we use _____ and _____ selection

A

positive and negative

38
Q

Positive selection does what?

A

Selects for recombinants

39
Q

Negative selection does what ?

A

ensures the homologous recombination happened

40
Q

what is usually used for positive selection

A

antibiotic resistance
