CRISPR/Cas9 in locusts: Successful establishment of an olfactory deficiency line by targeting the mutagenesis of an odorant receptor co-receptor (Orco).
Locusts are important agricultural pests worldwide and regarded as study models for entomology. However, the absence of targeted gene manipulation systems for locusts has restricted their applications for research. Herein, we report the successful use of the CRISPR/Cas9 system to induce a targeted heritable mutagenesis of the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria. The target sequence of gRNA was designed to disrupt the gene encoding the odorant receptor co-receptor (Orco) and examine the roles of the odorant receptor pathway in the locust. Microinjection of the mixture of Cas9-mRNA and Orco-gRNA into the locust eggs resulted in efficient target-gene editing at a rate of 71.7% in G0 animals and achieved a germline efficiency of up to 88.1% in G1 animals. By a crossing strategy, we successfully established stable Orco mutant lines. EAGs and SSRs indicated that the fourth-instar nymphs of the Orco mutants showed severely impaired electrophysiological responses to multiple odors. The Orco mutant locusts lost an attraction response to aggregation pheromones under the crowding conditions. The locomotor activity and body coloration of the Orco mutant locusts did not significantly differ from those of the two other genotypes. This study provides an easy and effective approach by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system for generating loss-of-function mutants for functional genetic studies of locusts and for managing insect pests.

[Research progress and applications of gene editing technology CRISPR/Cas in zebrafish].
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) are acquired immune system in bacteria and archaea. This system is used in site-directed gene editing. Recently, scientists discovered new CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins, in which Cas12a-mediated gene editing can significantly reduce the off-target rate. In this article, we review CRISPR/Cas system's discovery of history, composition, classification, and working principle. The latest research progress of the CRISPR/Cas system, and its application in zebrafish are introduced.

The impact of CRISPR-Cas9 on target identification and validation.
The addition of an RNA-guided nuclease, Cas9, to the gene editing toolbox has increased the accessibility of gene editing technologies by greatly simplifying the design of editing reagents. Only a single 75-100 nucleotide RNA is required to guide Cas9 to the target gene of interest, which has meant that the established infrastructure of short-hairpin RNA interference screen could be readily adapted to genome-wide knock out screens. Cas9-based editing technology should streamline the generation of animal and cell-line models, make the generation of activity-dead mutations in target validation routine, and enable the discovery of a new generation of targets across therapeutic areas.

CRISPR-Based Construction of a BL21 (DE3)-Derived Variant Strain Library to Rapidly Improve Recombinant Protein Production.
Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) is the most widely used host for recombinant protein expression. However, not every protein can be highly expressed in BL21 (DE3), so individual optimization strategies are often required for different proteins, which is time-consuming and difficult to apply rapidly for industrial production. Constructing more hosts is a good choice to enrich protein expression selection. The expression level of T7 RNAP is the core control node of the pET expression system, so regulating its expression level is an effective way of improving the production of difficult-to-express proteins. Various BL21 (DE3)-derived variant hosts with different translation levels of T7 RNAP could be obtained by changing the ribosomal binding site (RBS) sequences of T7 RNAP in a genome. Here, a BL21 (DE3)-derived variant strain library with different RBS sequences of T7 RNAP was constructed using a base editor and CRISPR-Cas9. Notably, the CRISPR-Cas9 system combined with degenerate primers enabled the construction of an RBS library with 87.5% of the theoretical coverage in single editing, which is more convenient and efficient than the use of a base editor. The expression level of a target gene in the variant strain library ranged from 28 to 220% of the parental strain. Furthermore, a high-throughput host-screening platform for recombinant protein production was constructed, which enabled us to obtain the best expression host for certain target proteins in only 3 days. As a proof of concept, the production of all eight difficult-to-express proteins was greatly improved, including autolytic protein, membrane proteins, antimicrobial peptides, and hardly soluble proteins. Among them, the expression of glucose dehydrogenase in the best host exhibited a 298-fold increase compared to the parental strain. This strategy is simple and effective, requires no advanced equipment, and can be carried out in any laboratory.

Genetic correction using engineered nucleases for gene therapy applications.
Genetic mutations in humans are associated with congenital disorders and phenotypic traits. Gene therapy holds the promise to cure such genetic disorders, although it has suffered from several technical limitations for decades. Recent progress in gene editing technology using tailor-made nucleases, such as meganucleases (MNs), zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), TAL effector nucleases (TALENs) and, more recently, CRISPR/Cas9, has significantly broadened our ability to precisely modify target sites in the human genome. In this review, we summarize recent progress in gene correction approaches of the human genome, with a particular emphasis on the clinical applications of gene therapy.

Gene Delivery in Lipid Research and Therapies.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and elevated lipid levels is a major contributor. Gene delivery, which involves controlled transfer of nucleic acids into cells and tissues, has been widely used in research to study lipid metabolism and physiology. Several technologies have been developed to somatically overexpress, silence, or disrupt genes in animal models and have greatly advanced our knowledge of metabolism. This is particularly true with regard to the liver, which plays a central role in lipoprotein metabolism and is amenable to many delivery approaches. In addition to basic science applications, many of these delivery technologies have potential as gene therapies for both common and rare lipid disorders. This review discusses three major gene delivery technologies used in lipid research-including adeno-associated viral vector overexpression, antisense oligonucleotides and small interfering RNAs, and the Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 genome editing system-and examines their potential therapeutic applications.

Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-based gene knockout in watermelon.
CRISPR/Cas9 system can precisely edit genomic sequence and effectively create knockout mutations in T0 generation watermelon plants. Genome editing offers great advantage to reveal gene function and generate agronomically important mutations to crops. Recently, RNA-guided genome editing system using the type II clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (Cas9) has been applied to several plant species, achieving successful targeted mutagenesis. Here, we report the genome of watermelon, an important fruit crop, can also be precisely edited by CRISPR/Cas9 system. ClPDS, phytoene desaturase in watermelon, was selected as the target gene because its mutant bears evident albino phenotype. CRISPR/Cas9 system performed genome editing, such as insertions or deletions at the expected position, in transfected watermelon protoplast cells. More importantly, all transgenic watermelon plants harbored ClPDS mutations and showed clear or mosaic albino phenotype, indicating that CRISPR/Cas9 system has technically 100% of genome editing efficiency in transgenic watermelon lines. Furthermore, there were very likely no off-target mutations, indicated by examining regions that were highly homologous to sgRNA sequences. Our results show that CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful tool to effectively create knockout mutations in watermelon.

Successful transient expression of Cas9 and single guide RNA genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9 system has become a powerful and precise tool for targeted gene modification (e.g., gene knockout and gene replacement) in numerous eukaryotic organisms. Initial attempts to apply this technology to a model, the single-cell alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, failed to yield cells containing edited genes. To determine if the Cas9 and single guide RNA (sgRNA) genes were functional in C. reinhardtii, we tested the ability of a codon-optimized Cas9 gene along with one of four different sgRNAs to cause targeted gene disruption during a 24-h period immediately following transformation. All three exogenously supplied gene targets as well as the endogenous FKB12 (rapamycin sensitivity) gene of C. reinhardtii displayed distinct Cas9/sgRNA-mediated target site modifications as determined by DNA sequencing of cloned PCR amplicons of the target site region. Success in transient expression of Cas9 and sgRNA genes contrasted with the recovery of only a single rapamycin-resistant colony bearing an appropriately modified FKB12 target site in 16 independent transformation experiments involving >10(9) cells. Failure to recover transformants with intact or expressed Cas9 genes following transformation with the Cas9 gene alone (or even with a gene encoding a Cas9 lacking nuclease activity) provided strong suggestive evidence for Cas9 toxicity when Cas9 is produced constitutively in C. reinhardtii. The present results provide compelling evidence that Cas9 and sgRNA genes function properly in C. reinhardtii to cause targeted gene modifications and point to the need for a focus on development of methods to properly stem Cas9 production and/or activity following gene editing.

Establishment of an efficient and versatile genome editing platform for L. ruthenicum.
Black goji berry (Lycium ruthenicum Murr.) is a valuable functional food and traditional medicinal plant owing to its rich content of anthocyanins, trace minerals, vitamins, and polysaccharides. However, limited genetic manipulation tools have hindered functional genomic studies and trait improvement in this species. In this study, we optimized the genetic transformation system for L. ruthenicum, achieving a remarkably high transformation efficiency of 95.4%. Based on this system, we developed a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9)-mediated gene knockout approach, using the Arabidopsis U6 (AtU6) promoter to drive sgRNA expression and the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (35S) promoter to drive Cas9 expression, achieving editing efficiencies of 68.8% at the phytoene desaturase (LrPDS) locus and 96.0% at the betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (LrBADH2) locus. Furthermore, we established an adenine base editing (ABE) system using the ribosomal protein subunit 5A (RPS5A) promoter to drive tRNA adenine deaminase-8e (TadA-8e-nSpCas9) cassette expression, achieving an editing efficiency of 72.2% at the LrPDS locus. To broaden protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) compatibility, we introduced the PAM-relaxed variant SpRY, enabling successful A-to-G editing at an acetolactate synthase (LrALS) target site containing a noncanonical NAN PAM, with an efficiency of 5.3%. Additionally, we developed a multiplex ABE system based on the tRNA-processing strategy, which enabled simultaneous editing at 2 independent loci with an efficiency of 33.3%. Our study establishes a robust genome editing toolkit for L. ruthenicum, offering valuable tools for functional gene analysis and molecular breeding in this economically important species.
