Site-specific recombinases are important tools for the modification of mammalian genomes. In conjunction with viral vectors, they can be utilized to mediate site-specific gene insertions in animals and in cell lines which are difficult to transfect. Here we describe a method for the generation and analysis of an adenovirus vector supporting a recombinase-mediated cassette exchange reaction and discuss the advantages and limitations of this approach.

The ability to manipulate gene activity and control transgene expression is essential to study gene function. While several genetic tools for modifying genes or controlling expression separately are available for Caenorhabditis elegans, there are no genetic approaches to generate mutations that simultaneously disrupt gene function and provide genetic access to the cells expressing the disrupted gene. To achieve this, we developed a versatile gene trap strategy based on cGAL, a GAL4-UAS bipartite expression system for C.

The implementation of site-specific integration (SSI) systems in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells for the production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) can alleviate concerns associated with production instability and reduce cell line development timelines. SSI cell line performance is driven by the interaction between genomic integration location, clonal background, and the transgene expression cassette, requiring optimization of all three parameters to maximize productivity. Systematic comparison of these parameters has been hindered by SSI platforms involving low-throughput enrichment strategies, such as cell sorting.

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells play a pivotal role in the production of recombinant therapeutics. In the present study, we conducted a genome-scale pooled CRISPR knockout (KO) screening using a virus-free, recombinase-mediated cassette exchange-based platform in CHO-K1 host and CHO-K1 derived recombinant cells. Genome-wide guide RNA (gRNA) amplicon sequencing data were generated from cell libraries, as well as short- and long-term KO libraries, and validated through phenotypic assessment and gRNA read count distribution.

To enable robust expression of transgenes in stem cells, recombinase-mediated cassette exchange at safe harbor loci is frequently adopted. The choice of recombinase enzyme is a critical parameter to ensure maximum efficiency and accuracy of the integration event. We have explored the serine recombinase family of site-specific integrases and have directly compared the efficiency of PhiC31, W-beta, and Bxb1 integrase for targeted transgene integration at the Gt(ROSA)26Sor locus in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, which are widely used for therapeutic protein production, have been genetically manipulated to enhance productivity. Nearly half of the genes in CHO cells are silenced, which are promising targets for CHO cell engineering. To identify novel gene targets among the silenced genes that can enhance productivity, we established a genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats activation (CRISPRa) screening platform for bispecific antibody (bsAb)-producing CHO (CHO-bsAb) cells with 110,979 guide RNAs (gRNAs) targeting 13,812 silenced genes using a virus-free recombinase-mediated cassette exchange-based gRNA integration method.
