  • candidate screening

    Candidate Screening

  • C. elegans Confirmation

    Strain Confirmation

  1. Transgenic Design:

    Design of donor homology plasmid, guide sgRNAs and choice of a selection cassette for expression of your fluorescently tagged gene.
  2. Molecular Assembly:

    Confirm plasmids and construct high-quality components for genome editing.
  3. C. elegans Injections:

    Using a plasmid-based DNA injection mix, our skilled injectionists perform microinjections with high survival and transgenesis rates.
  4. Candidate Screening:

    Integration candidates are identified with the correct phenotype for the selection cassette. Confirm integration at the genomic level via PCR screening.
  5. Strain Confirmation:

    PCR testing to confirm that the lines have the desired construct integration and sequencing to confirm that the integration occurred without error.
