Methods and Compositions for the Targeted Modification of a Genome
First Claim
1. A method for modifying a genome at a genomic locus of interest, comprising contacting the genome with a Cas protein, a CRISPR RNA that hybridizes to a CRISPR target sequence at the genomic locus of interest, and a tracrRNA,wherein the genome is contacted in the presence of a large targeting vector (LTVEC) that is at least 10 kb and comprises an insert nucleic acid flanked with:
- (a) a 5′
homology arm that is homologous to a 5′
target sequence at the genomic locus of interest; and
(b) a 3′
homology arm that is homologous to a 3′
target sequence at the genomic locus of interest,wherein following contacting with the Cas protein, CRISPR RNA, and tracrRNA in the presence of the LTVEC, the genome comprises a targeted genetic modification at the genomic locus of interest, wherein the modified genomic locus of interest comprises the insert nucleic acid.

Abstract
Compositions and methods are provided for modifying a genomic locus of interest in a eukaryotic cell, a mammalian cell, a human cell or a non-human mammalian cell using a large targeting vector (LTVEC) comprising various endogenous or exogenous nucleic acid sequences as described herein. Further methods combine the use of the LTVEC with a CRISPR/Cas system. Compositions and methods for generating a genetically modified non-human animal comprising one or more targeted genetic modifications in their germline are also provided.

48. A method for producing an F0 generation non-human animal that comprises a targeted genetic modification at a genomic locus of interest, the method comprising:
-
(a) contacting a genome in a non-human ES cell with a Cas protein, a CRISPR RNA that hybridizes to a CRISPR target sequence at the genomic locus of interest, and a tracrRNA to form a modified non-human ES cell, wherein the genome is contacted in the presence of a large targeting vector (LTVEC) that is at least 10 kb and comprises an insert nucleic acid flanked with a 5′
homology arm that is homologous to a 5′
target sequence at the genomic locus of interest and a 3′
homology arm that is homologous to a 3′
target sequence at the genomic locus of interest, andwherein following contacting with the Cas protein, CRISPR RNA, and tracrRNA in the presence of the LTVEC, the genome comprises a targeted genetic modification at the genomic locus of interest, wherein the modified genomic locus of interest comprises the insert nucleic acid; (b) identifying the modified non-human ES cell comprising the targeted genetic modification at the genomic locus of interest; (c) introducing the modified non-human ES cell into a non-human host embryo; and (d) gestating the non-human host embryo in a surrogate mother, wherein the surrogate mother produces the F0 generation non-human animal comprising the targeted genetic modification at the genomic locus of interest. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 55, 57, 58, 59, 60, 62, 63, 64)
