Erratum: CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Targeted Integration In Vivo Using a Homology-mediated End Joining-based Strategy

An erratum was issued for: Studying TGF-β Signaling and TGF-β-induced Epithelial-to-mesenchymal Transition in Breast Cancer and Normal Cells. The phrases "surveyor assay" and "Surveyor Nuclease" have been updated to "T7E1 assay"  to " T7 endonuclease I" respectively.

Step 1.2 in the Protocol has been updated from:

2. Surveyor nuclease assay of sgRNA
   NOTE: The targeting efficiency of the sgRNA used for the knock-in experiment is evaluated by surveyor nuclease assay (also known as T7 endonuclease I (T7EI) assay)¹⁷. Select the sgRNA with high DNA cleavage efficiency and a low distance between the sgRNA cutting site and the stop codon.

2. T7 endonuclease assay of sgRNA
   NOTE: The targeting efficiency of the sgRNA used for the knock-in experiment is evaluated by T7 endonuclease (T7EI) assay¹⁷. Select the sgRNA with high DNA cleavage efficiency and a low distance between the sgRNA cutting site and the stop codon.

Figure 1: HMEJ-mediated targeted integration in vitro.
(A) Experimental scheme for selection of sgRNAs: Six different sgRNAs (Cdx2-sgRNA1~Cdx2-sgRNA6) around the stop codon of the Cdx2 locus with a higher rank and off-target potential were chosen based on online CRISPR design tool. The protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence is in red. (B) Experimental design: The Cas9-CMV-GFP expression plasmids expressing sgRNA, Cas9, and GFP were introduced into N2a cells. GFP⁺ cells were sorted at day 3 for surveyor assay. (C) Surveyor assay for Cdx2 targeting: 6 different sgRNAs were designed for surveyor assay. Normal N2a cell genomic DNA serves as control. *, the sgRNA used for Cdx2-2A-mCherry knock-in experiment. (D) Schematic overview of construction of HMEJ donors using Gibson assembly. (E) Schematic overview of HMEJ-mediated gene targeting strategy at Cdx2 locus. HAL/HAR, left/right homology arm; triangles, sgRNA target sites; OF/OR, outer forward/reverse primer; IF/IR, inner forward/reverse primer.
