Use of Freeze-thawed Embryos for High-efficiency Production of Genetically Modified Mice

The use of genetically modified (GM) mice has become crucial for understanding gene function and deciphering the underlying mechanisms of human diseases. ...

The CRISPR/Cas9 technique has undergone many modifications to decrease the effort and shorten the time needed for efficient production of mutant mice. The use of fresh embryos consumes time and effort during oocytes preparation and fertilization before every experiment, and freeze-thawed embryos overcome this limitation. However, cryopreservation of 1-cell embryos is challenging.
