In Vivo CRISPR/Cas9-Based Targeted Disruption and Knockin of a Long Noncoding RNA.

The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been widely used as an efficient genome-editing tool for studying physiological functions of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). In this chapter, we describe the experimental procedures for using the CRISPR/Cas9 system to genetically modify a long noncoding RNA in vivo through the targeted disruption and knockin approaches.
