Numbers of injected and surviving A. millepora zygotes
Night 1 | Night 2 | ||||
Target gene(s)* | FGF1a | GFP | RFP | FGF1a | None (Cas9-only) |
No. of individuals injected successfully† | 146 | 123 | 147 | 246 | 227 |
No. of individuals surviving until 12 h postfertilization‡ | 74 | 88 | 79 | 116 | 176 |
Percent of individuals surviving until 12 h postfertilization, %‡ | 51 | 72 | 54 | 47 | 78 |
For each gene, a mixture of sgRNA/Cas9 complexes was injected (SI Appendix, SI Materials and Methods); there were two such complexes for FGF1a, three for GFP, and two for RFP.
As judged by the phenol-red injection marker (SI Appendix, SI Materials and Methods).
As judged by the numbers of larvae that were seemingly intact at the time of observation.
