Genetics

Using a Fluorescent PCR-capillary Gel Electrophoresis Technique to Genotype CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Knockout Mutants in a High-throughput Format

1Cancer & Stem Cell Biology Programme, Duke-NUS Medical School

The genotyping technique described here, which couples fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to capillary gel electrophoresis, allows for high-throughput genotyping of nuclease-mediated knockout clones. It circumvents limitations faced by other genotyping techniques and is more cost effective than sequencing methods.

1Reproductive Medicine Centre, Wuxi Maternity and Child Health Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, 2Department of Clinical Research, Yikon Genomics Co. Ltd.

We report a protocol for chromosome screening of human embryos by using spent culture medium, which avoids embryo biopsy and enables reporting chromosome ploidy using next generation sequencing (NGS). We present the detailed procedure including the preparation of culture medium, whole genome amplification (WGA), NGS library preparation, and data analysis.

Intracranial Pharmacotherapy and Pain Assays in Rodents
Erik Martinez 1, Haocheng Zhou 1, Jing Wang 1,2
1Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative Care and Pain Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, 2Department of Neuroscience and Physiology, New York University School of Medicine

Here we present a protocol to perform intracranial pharmacological experiments followed by pain behavior assays in rodents. This protocol allows researchers to deliver molecular and cellular targets in the brain, for pharmacologic agents in the treatment of pain.
