2 Figure 1 CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing is revolutionizing the production of model animals. This system creates targeted genome modifications by directing a nuclease (protein capable of creating double-strand breaks in DNA) to a specific genomic sequence by RNA-guided homology. Because NHEJ is an error-prone process of DNA repair, silencing mutations often are introduced. After a genetically modified cell is created, clonal model animals may be created through somatic cell nuclear transfer. NHEJ, Nonhomologous end joining.
