The simple protocol described in this article aims to provide all required information, as a
comprehensive, easy‐to‐follow step‐by‐step method, to ensure the generation of the
expected genome‐edited mice. Here, we provide protocols for the preparation of CRISPR‐
Cas9 reagents for microinjection and electroporation into one‐cell mouse embryos to create
knockout or knock‐in mouse models, and for genotyping the resulting offspring with the
latest innovative next‐generation sequencing methods.© 2020 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc …
