Creation of body color mutants by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides by Lina Sun, Tian Gao, Zhiqiang Li, Xiaolong Yang, Zuliang Qin, Mingxiao Ye, Ying Li, Feilong Wang, Deshou Wang

“…The efficiency of mutation was gRNA and Cas9 mRNA concentration dependent, and 400 ng/μl gRNA and 800 ng/μl Cas9 mRNA were recommended as the appropriate injection dose for genome editing in LMB. Enzyme-digestion and sanger-sequencing demonstrated that the CRISPR/Cas9 system is available for the gene editing of LMB. …”
