Abstract
Many genetically engineered rat strains have been produced by the development of genome editing technology, although it used to be technical difficulty and low production efficiency. Knockout and knock-in strains can be simple and quick produced using zinc finger nuclease (ZFN), transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN), or clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9. Presently, genome edited strains have been produced by microinjection and a new electroporation method named technique for animal knockout system by electroporation (TAKE). This chapter presents the latest protocols for producing genome edited rats.
