![]() CRISPR-Mediated Gene Knockout CRISPR-mediated gene knockout involves using a synthetic guide RNA (gRNA) to direct the Cas9 enzyme to a specific location on the target gene's DNA. Once guided to the target site, Cas9 induces a precise double-strand break (DSB) in the DNA. Subsequent natural repair mechanisms, such as Non-Homologous End Joining (NHEJ) or Homology Directed Repair (HDR), are activated. NHEJ often introduces small insertions or deletions, disrupting the gene's reading frame and rendering it non-functional. The success of gene knockout is confirmed through molecular techniques, verifying the presence of mutations and the functional inactivation of the targeted gene. Our CRISPR/Cas9 system is highlighted by utilizing dual gRNAs to create dual DSBs to achieve 100% knockout of the target sequence. Experimental design Strategy

• Using transcript SMARCA2[NM_003070.5] as a reference, one guide RNA with minimal off-target effects was designed upstream and downstream of exons 6 and 9, respectively, to achieve homozygous knockout (Fig. 1). • Individual clones were screened by PCR (Fig. 2) and Sanger sequencing (Fig. 3) to identify homozygous knockouts of exons 6–9 in SMARCA2. • The absence of hSMARCA2 gene expression in the selected clones was confirmed via Western Blot (Fig. 4).
