Atalanta plasmid technology
New DNA plasmids for modification of genomes by homology-directed repair
Overview:
Next-gen DNA plasmids (pJAT series) for CRISPR-Cas9 genome modification using homology-directed repair (HDR)—originally developed for Drosophila, adaptable to other organisms.
Key Benefits:
-
High HDR Efficiency: ~25% efficiency in injected eggs—significantly higher than traditional methods.
-
One-Step Assembly: Combines dsDNA synthesis and Gateway cloning for rapid, simplified plasmid construction.
-
All-in-One Design: Includes long homology arms, high-expression sgRNA, and large payload capacity.
-
Modular & Customizable: Offers ready-to-use plasmids for common edits + empty vectors for tailored experiments.
-
Broad Use: Effective in model and non-model species; enables complex genome edits like chromosomal inversions.
Use Cases:
-
Targeted gene knock-ins
-
Insertional mutagenesis
-
Chromosomal rearrangements
