The CRISPR-Cas system is a powerful, revolutionary technology to engineer the genomes and transcriptomes of plants and animals. Numerous bacterial species have been found to contain CRISPR-Cas systems, which may potentially be adapted for genome and transcriptome engineering purposes44. Although the Cas9 endonuclease from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpCas9) was the first enzyme to be deployed successfully in human cells21,22,</su...

The ability to engineer the genome of any living organism has many biomedical and biotechnological applications, such as the correction of disease-causing mutations, construction of accurate cellular models for disease studies, or generation of agricultural crops with desirable traits. Since the turn of the century, various technologies have been developed for genome engineering in mammalian cells, including meganucleases1,2,3, zinc finger nucleases4,5, or transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs)6,7,8,9. However, these earlier technologies are either difficult to program or tedious to assemble, thereby hampering their widespread adoption in research and the industry.
In recent years, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)- CRISPR-associated (Cas) system has emerged as a powerful new genome engineering technology10,11. Originally an adaptive immune system in bacteria, it has been successfully deployed for genome modification in plants and animals, including humans. A primary reason why CRISPR-Cas has gained so much popularity in such a short time is that the element that brings the key Cas endonuclease, such as Cas9 or Cas12a (also known as Cpf1), to the correct location in the genome is simply a short piece of chimeric single guide RNA (sgRNA), which is straightforward to design and cheap to synthesize. After being recruited to the target site, the Cas enzyme functions as a pair of molecular scissors and cleaves the bound DNA with its RuvC, HNH, or Nuc domains12,13,14. The resulting double stranded break (DSB) is subsequently repaired by the cells via either the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway. In the absence of a repair template, the DSB is repaired by the error-prone NHEJ pathway, which can give rise to pseudo-random insertion or deletion of nucleotides (indels) at the cut site, potentially causing frameshift mutations in protein-coding genes. However, in the presence of a donor template that contains the desired DNA changes, the DSB is repaired by the high fidelity HDR pathway. Common types of donor templates include single-stranded oligonucleotides (ssODNs) and plasmids. The former is typically used if the intended DNA changes are small (for example, alteration of a single base pair), while the latter is typically used if one wishes to insert a relatively long sequence (for example, the coding sequence of a green fluorescent protein or GFP) into the target locus.
The endonuclease activity of the Cas protein requires the presence of a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) at the target site15. The PAM of Cas9 is at the 3&#8217; end of the protospacer, while the PAM of Cas12a (also called Cpf1) is at the 5&#8217; end instead16. The Cas-guide RNA complex is unable to introduce a DSB if the PAM is absent17. Hence, the PAM places a constraint on the genomic locations where a particular Cas nuclease is able to cleave. Fortunately, Cas nucleases from different bacterial species typically exhibit different PAM requirements. Hence, by integrating various CRISPR-Cas systems into our engineering toolbox, we can expand the range of sites that may be targeted in a genome. Moreover, a natural Cas enzyme can be engineered or evolved to recognize alternative PAM sequences, further widening the scope of genomic targets accessible to manipulation18,19,20.
Although multiple CRISPR-Cas systems are available for genome engineering purposes, most users of the technology have relied mainly on the Cas9 nuclease from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpCas9) for multiple reasons. First, it requires a relatively simply NGG PAM, unlike many other Cas proteins that can only cleave in the presence of more complex PAMs. Second, it is the first Cas endonuclease to be successfully deployed in human cells21,22,23,24. Third, SpCas9 is by far the best characterized enzyme to date. If a researcher wishes to use another Cas nuclease, he or she would often be unclear about how best to design the experiment and how well other enzymes will perform in different biological contexts compared to SpCas9.
To provide clarity to the relative performance of different CRISPR-Cas systems, we have recently performed a systematic comparison of five Cas endonucleases &#8211; SpCas9, the Cas9 enzyme from Staphylococcus aureus (SaCas9), the Cas9 enzyme from Neisseria meningitidis (NmCas9), the Cas12a enzyme from Acidaminococcus sp. BV3L6 (AsCas12a), and the Cas12a enzyme from Lachnospiraceae bacterium ND2006 (LbCas12a)25. For a fair comparison, we evaluated the various Cas nucleases using the same set of target sites and other experimental conditions. The study also delineated design parameters for each CRISPR-Cas system, which would serve as a useful reference for users of the technology. Here, to better enable researchers to make use of the CRISPR-Cas system, we provide a step-by-step protocol for optimal genome engineering with different Cas9 and Cas12a enzymes (see Figure 1). The protocol not only includes experimental details but also important design considerations to maximize the likelihood of a successful genome engineering outcome in mammalian cells.

genome editing in mammalian cell lines using crispr-cas

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system functions naturally in bacterial adaptive immunity, but has been successfully repurposed for genome engineering in many different living organisms. Most commonly, the wildtype CRISPR associated 9 (Cas9) or Cas12a endonuclease is used to cleave specific sites in the genome, after which the DNA double-stranded break is repaired via the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway or the homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway depending on whether a donor template is absent or present respectively. To date, CRISPR systems from different bacterial species have been shown to be capable of performing genome editing in mammalian cells. However, despite the apparent simplicity of the technology, multiple design parameters need to be considered, which often leave users perplexed about how best to carry out their genome editing experiments. Here, we describe a complete workflow from experimental design to identification of cell clones that carry desired DNA modifications, with the goal of facilitating successful execution of genome editing experiments in mammalian cell lines. We highlight key considerations for users to take note of, including the choice of CRISPR system, the spacer length, and the design of a single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide (ssODN) donor template. We envision that this workflow will be useful for gene knockout studies, disease modeling efforts, or the generation of reporter cell lines.

To perform a genome editing experiment, a CRISPR plasmid expressing a sgRNA targeting the locus-of-interest needs to be cloned. First, the plasmid is digested with a restriction enzyme (typically a type IIs enzyme) to linearize it. It is recommended to resolve the digested product on a 1% agarose gel alongside an undigested plasmid to distinguish between a complete and partial digestion. As undigested plasmids are supercoiled, they tend to run faster than their linearized counterparts (see Figure 7</...
