Gene editing and protein tagging are at the heart of modern developmental and cell biology. The advent of CRISPR/Cas9 based methods offers the possibility to develop customized approaches for genomic manipulations in non-classical experimental models. Here, we show that highly efficient somatic knock-ins of long DNA fragments can be achieved in the developing chick neural tube in ovo. We compare different types of repair matrices and different methods for the delivery of the CRISPR/Cas9 machinery, and find that an all plasmid-based approach and short arms of homology provide an easy and efficient method to achieve high frequencies of knock-in insertions with virtually no background signal. We use this method to target fluorescent reporters and dynamically monitor the subcellular distribution of endogenously expressed tagged proteins, as well as to insert the Gal4-VP16 transcription factor or the Cre recombinase at specific loci to label neural sub-populations in the chick embryonic spinal cord. Finally, we show that the method can also be applied to target the epiblast and somitic mesoderm.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
