CRISPR-U™ technology (CRISPR based), developed by Ubigene, is more efficient than general
CRISPR/Cas9 technology in double-strand breaking and homologous recombination. With CRISPR-U™, Ubigene has
successfully edited over 3000 genes on more than 200 types of cell lines.
Objective
To create a Human DNMT1 Knockout
model in cell line by CRISPR-U™-mediated genome engineering.

Summary
This gene encodes an enzyme that transfers methyl groups to cytosine nucleotides of genomic DNA. This protein is the major enzyme responsible for maintaining methylation patterns following DNA replication and shows a preference for hemi-methylated DNA. Methylation of DNA is an important component of mammalian epigenetic gene regulation. Aberrant methylation patterns are found in human tumors and associated with developmental abnormalities. Variation in this gene has been associated with cerebellar ataxia, deafness, and narcolepsy, and neuropathy, hereditary sensory, type IE. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Project Comprehensive Difficulty Assessment
According to the Red Cotton database: the DNMT1 gene is evaluated as high lethality riskin cell line, and the CRISPR gene-editing strategy design is Unknown. Knockout project comprehensive difficulty is thus assessed as Unknown. KO experiment is not recommended.
