C. elegans Point Mutation Service

showcase_point-mutation

Our Point Mutation service uses CRISPR/Cas9, which is the best gene editing method for creating small, precise edits to introduce a small number of nucleotide changes at a target site. With this service you can:

  • study a disease-causing mutation
  • humanize a critical amino acid
  • explore the binding site of an enzyme
  • introduce phosphomimetics
  • mutate isoform start sites or make any specific mutation of interest.

Our CRISPR/Cas9 editing is typically very efficient. Among the F1 candidates with the Co-CRISPR edit, our average percentage of animals with the target edit was 65.7%. Edit percentages as high as 95% were observed.

We can generate Point mutations quickly. For these projects, our average time from injection to sequence confirmation of two independent homozygous lines was 15.3 days. Our quickest project only took 10 days!
