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 RAC1 Knockout
model in cell line by CRISPR-U™-mediated genome engineering.

Chromosome 7
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a GTPase which belongs to the RAS superfamily of small GTP-binding proteins. Members of this superfamily appear to regulate a diverse array of cellular events, including the control of cell growth, cytoskeletal reorganization, and the activation of protein kinases. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Project Comprehensive Difficulty Assessment
According to the Red Cotton database: the RAC1 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.
In all cell lines, there is
100.0% cells with medium expression level
of RAC1 gene.
Cell line is not selected, unable to assess the accurate expression level, for reference only.
In all cell lines, there is
42.8% cells with low copy number,
43.8% cells with medium copy number,
13.5% cells with high copy number
of RAC1 gene.
