Résumé
CRISPR/Cas9 technology is a versatile tool for engineering biology that has dramatically transformed our ability to manipulate genomes. In this protocol, we use its capacity to generate two double-strand breaks simultaneously, at precise positions in the genome, to generate mouse or rat lines with deletion, inversion, and duplication of a specific genomic segment. The technic is called CRISMERE for CRISpr-MEdiated REarrangement. This protocol describes the different steps to generate and validate the different chromosomal rearrangements that can be obtained with the technology. These new genetic configurations can be useful to model rare diseases with copy number variation, understand the genomic organization, or provide genetic tools (like balancer chromosome) to keep lethal mutations.
