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

backgroundPrecise gene targeting (GT) is a powerful tool for heritable precision genome engineering, enabling knock-in or replacement of the endogenous sequence via homologous recombination. We recently established a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated approach for heritable GT in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) and rice and reported that the double-strand breaks (DSBs) frequency of Cas9 influences the GT efficiency. However, the relationship between DSBs and GT at the same locus was not examined. Furthermore, it has never been investigated whether an increase in the number of copies of sgRNAs or the use of multiple sgRNAs would improve the efficiency of GT.

resultsHere, we achieved precise GT at endogenous loci Embryo Defective 2410 (EMB2410) and Repressor of Silencing 1 (ROS1) using the sequential transformation strategy and the combination of sgRNAs. We show that increasing of sgRNAs copy number elevates both DSBs and GT efficiency. On the other hand, application of multiple sgRNAs does not always enhance GT efficiency. Our results also suggested that some inefficient sgRNAs would play a role as a helper to facilitate other sgRNAs DSBs activity.

conclusionsThe results of this study clearly show that DSB efficiency, rather than mutation pattern, is one of the most important key factors determining GT efficiency. This study provides new insights into the relationship between sgRNAs, DSBs, and GTs and the molecular mechanisms of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated GTs in plants.
