Abstract:Background: The CRISPR/Cas9 technology based on homologous recombination has been widely used for gene editing in organism. Gene deletion of ku80 complex can increase the efficiency of homologous recombination(HR), or gene editing by CRISPR/Cas9 in Arabidopsis thaliana and Toxoplasma gondii, which has remained elusive in Neospora caninum. Methods: Here, we knocked out the ku80 in Nc1 strain, named Δku80, using CRISPR/Cas9. In vitro, phenotype assays, including plaque formation, invasion, replication and egress… Show more
