Event Details
【Title】Generation of Genetically Modified Animals via in vivo Electroporation (i‑GONAD Method)
【Speaker】Associate Professor Shuji Takabayashi, Institute for Photonics and Medical Science, Hamamatsu University School of Medicine
Recent advances in genome‑editing technologies have greatly simplified the generation of genetically modified animals. The i‑GONAD method introduces Cas9/gRNA complexes into pre‑implantation embryos within the oviduct by electroporation, without removing fertilized eggs from the body. Compared with conventional methods, it is characterized by being “low‑cost, fast, and simple,” and enables highly efficient knockout (KO), LoxP insertion, tag sequence insertion, and point mutation knock‑in (KI). In this seminar, the speaker will introduce improvements made to the i‑GONAD method and its applications in rats and hamsters.
