1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Primordial germ cells (PGCs), the embryonic precursors of the sperm and egg, are used for the introduction of genetic modifications into avian genome. Introduction of small defined sequences using genome editing has not been demonstrated in bird species. Here, we compared oligonucleotide-mediated HDR using wild type SpCas9 (SpCas9-WT) and high fidelity SpCas9-HF1 in PGCs and show that many loci in chicken PGCs can be precise edited using donors containing CRISPR/Cas9-blocking mutations positioned in the protospacer adjacent motif (PAM). However, targeting was more efficient using SpCas9-HF1 when mutations were introduced only into the gRNA target sequence. We subsequently employed an eGFP-to-BFP conversion assay, to directly compare HDR mediated by SpCas9-WT and SpCas9-HF1 and discovered that SpCas9-HF1 increases HDR while reducing INDEL formation. Furthermore, SpCas9-HF1 increases the frequency of single allele editing in comparison to SpCas9-WT. We used SpCas9-HF1 to demonstrate the introduction of monoallelic and biallelic point mutations into the FGF20 gene and generate clonal populations of edited PGCs with defined homozygous and heterozygous genotypes. Our results demonstrate the use of oligonucleotide donors and high fidelity CRISPR/Cas9 variants to perform precise genome editing with high efficiency in PGCs.
