Abstract

Gene editing in the murine germline is a valuable approach to investigate germ cell maturation and generate mouse models. Several studies demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9 alters the genome of cultured male mouse germline stem cells delivered by electroporation of plasmids. Recently, we showed proof-of-principle that gene knockout can be effectively targeted in mouse germline stem cells by lipofecting Cas9:gRNA ribonucleoproteins. In this protocol, we describe a simple, fast, and cheap workflow for gene editing via the lipofection of non-integrative ribonucleoproteins in murine male germline stem cells.
