C. elegans Endogenous Tagging via CRISPR Gene Editing

Tag your favorite gene at the native locus via CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology. Choose from a large selection of fluorescent proteins, immunotags and degron tags.
Custom tags and combinations (i.e. GFP::3xFLAG, etc.) are also available.
Process For Generating Strains
Transgenic Design
Molecular Assembly
Injections
Candidate Screening
Strain Confirmation
- Transgenic Design:
Design of donor homology plasmid, guide sgRNAs and choice of a selection cassette for expression of your fluorescently tagged gene. - Molecular Assembly:
Confirm plasmids and construct high-quality components for genome editing. - C. elegans Injections:
Using a plasmid-based DNA injection mix, our skilled injectionists perform microinjections with high survival and transgenesis rates. - Candidate Screening:
Integration candidates are identified with the correct phenotype for the selection cassette. Confirm integration at the genomic level via PCR screening. - Strain Confirmation:
PCR testing to confirm that the lines have the desired construct integration and sequencing to confirm that the integration occurred without error.
C. elegans Endogenous Tagging Service Offerings
Fluorescent Tag
Visualize your protein via addition of a fluorescent protein tag at the native locus.
Immunotag
Use your protein for biochemical studies by adding an immunotag at the native locus.
