Abstract:Modelling human genetic diseases and cancer in lab animals has been greatly aided by the emergence of genetic engineering tools such as TALENs and CRISPR/Cas9. We have previously demonstrated the ease with which genetically engineered Xenopus models (GEXM) can be generated. This included the induction of autochthonous tumour formation by injection of early embryos with Cas9 recombinant protein loaded with sgRNAs targeting multiple tumour suppressor genes. What has been lacking so far is the possibility to prop… Show more
