Recent advances in mosquito genomics and genetic engineering technologies have created a need for efficient methods for detecting DNA sequence variations. ddPCR is a high-throughput method for analyzing NHEJ that provides quantitative estimates of sequence variations within populations. It can be implemented in field-site laboratories more easily and has a faster turn-around time for results compared to next-generation or Sanger sequencing, allowing for quicker and more complete analysis of genetic variation in wild populations during field trials of genetically-engineered organisms.
Recent advances in mosquito genomics and genetic engineering technologies have fostered a need for quick and efficient methods for detecting targeted DNA sequence variation on a large scale. Specifically, detecting insertions and deletions (indels) at gene-edited sites generated by CRISPR guide RNA (gRNA)/Cas9-mediated non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) is important for assessing the fidelity of the mutagenesis and the frequency of unintended changes. We describe here a protocol for digital-droplet PCR (ddPCR) that is well-suited for high-throughput NHEJ analysis. While this method does not produce data that identifies individual sequence variation, it provides a quantitative estimate of the sequence variation within a population. Additionally, with appropriate resources, this protocol can be implemented in a field-site laboratory setting more easily than next-generation or Sanger sequencing. ddPCR also has a faster turn-around time for results than either of those methods, which allows a more quick and complete analysis of genetic variation in wild populations during field trials of genetically-engineered organisms.
