CRISPR-mediated genome editing allows for efficient on demand creation of >200 kb deficiencies with precise boundaries.

Deficiency mapping remains a useful tool in the process of identifying causative genetic lesions in C. elegans mutant strains isolated from forward genetic screens, in particular of non-coding mutants. However, there are significant areas across the genome with no deficiency coverage at all, and the boundaries of many deficiencies remain poorly defined. Here, we describe a simple methodology to generate balanced deficiency strains with up to 230 kb molecularly defined deletions (mini-deficiencies) using CRISPR/Cas9, thus providing a simple path for both precise and tailored deficiency mapping.

Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (tool)

RRID:SCR_004493

A public charity whose mission is to support the NIH in its mission to improve health, by forming and facilitating public-private partnerships for biomedical research and training. Its vision is Building Partnerships for Discovery and Innovation to Improve Health. The FNIH draws together the world''s foremost researchers and resources, pressing the frontier to advance critical discoveries. They are recognized as the number-one medical research charity in the countryleveraging support, and convening high level partnerships, for the greatest impact on the most urgent medical challenges we face today. Grants are awarded as part of a public-private partnership with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) on behalf of The Heart Truth in support of women''s heart health education and research. Funding for the Community Action Program is provided by the FNIH through donations from individuals and corporations including The Heart Truth partners Belk Department Stores, Diet Coke, and Swarovski. Successful biomedical research relies upon the knowledge, training and dedication of those who conduct it. Bringing multiple disciplines to bear on health challenges requires innovation and collaboration on the part of scientists. Foundation for NIH partnerships operate in a variety of ways and formats to recruit, train, empower and retain their next generation of researchers. From lectures and multi-week courses, to scholarships and awards through fellowships and residential training programs, their programs respond to the needs of scientists at every level and stage in their careers.
