Prime editing in zebrafish and Atlantic salmon : exploring a new CRISPR technique in non-mammalian species
The CRISPR-Cas system has enabled precise genome editing in a multitude of organisms, and gene knockout experiments can now be done with relative ease due to the simplicity of the system. However, unintended genomic side-effects of such editing have surfaced in the last couple of years. In this thes...

The CRISPR-Cas system has enabled precise genome editing in a multitude of organisms, and gene knockout experiments can now be done with relative ease due to the simplicity of the system. However, unintended genomic side-effects of such editing have surfaced in the last couple of years. In this thesis, the CRISPR-based genome editing system prime editing was explored as an alternative gene knockout approach to avoid the unintended editing outcomes seen in the wake of regular CRISPR-Cas editing. Prime editing was applied to zebrafish (Danio rerio) by microinjection of RNP complexes and to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) cells by electroporation of plasmids and RNP complexes. No successful prime editing outcomes was observed in zebrafish. Low survival rate of both microinjected and uninjected embryos remained an obstacle throughout the project, and should be addressed before continuing zebrafish prime editing experiments. Prime editing of Atlantic salmon cells using plasmids did not produce any positive results.
