Design and transfection of CRISPR/Cas9 constructs for the myostatin gene in Labeo rohita muscle cells

CRISPR/Cas9 tool design and plasmid transfection in a fish muscle cell line, showing how researchers developed and tested gene‑editing constructs.

Key Takeaways
  • SgRNAs targeting exon 1 of the mstnb gene were cloned into a Cas9-GFP plasmid and sequence-verified
  • Transfection produced distinct GFP-positive LRDM muscle cells at passages 10, 20, and 30
  • Study established functional CRISPR/Cas9 constructs for mstnb in Labeo rohita muscle cells
