Description

Method for cultivating high-fertility fine wool sheep
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and particularly relates to a method for cultivating high-fertility fine wool sheep.
Background
The gene editing technique refers to a technique for performing precise modification and directed editing of genetic material by artificially designing to achieve insertion, deletion or substitution of a specific gene or genomic target site. At present, the third generation gene editing technology represented by CRISPR/Cas9 has been widely used for research in the fields of livestock genome editing, biomedicine, human disease model construction and the like. CRISPR/Cas9 systems induce Double Strand Breaks (DSBs) that can be repaired by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or Homology Directed Repair (HDR) pathways. The NHEJ and the HDR act simultaneously, the HDR efficiency is improved due to the fact that the activity of the NHEJ is reduced, and small-molecule compounds act on the selection of the HDR channel and the NHEJ channel of DNA repair, so that the efficiency of the NHEJ in the DNA repair channel can be inhibited, and the HDR efficiency is improved. Many Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are reported to be associated with important economic traits in livestock species. Thus, the addition of small molecule compounds to introduce precise single nucleotide substitutions via HDR is critical for the overall analysis of animal trait phenotypes and gene functions.
Reproductive traits of sheep are important economic traits of sheep. Among nearly 700 varieties in the sheep variety warehouse, most of the sheep varieties belong to seasonal oestrus, annual birth of one embryo and single lamb per embryo except for few sheep varieties with high lambing rate, premature sexual maturity and perennial oestrus. Therefore, how to effectively improve sheep fertility has become a very interesting research direction. The FecB (Fecundity booroola) gene is the first multiple-fetal major gene found in sheep. The FecB gene is located on autosomal sheep and has the biological effects of improving ovulation rate, lambing number and the like. The research shows that the FecB gene is obtained by mutating the base of the BMPR-IB gene A746G, and analysis of the amino acid sequence of the mutation site shows that partial functional inactivation of the gene finally leads to the reduction of the inhibition effect of ligand on the secretion of progesterone by granulosa cells, thereby promoting follicle maturation and the differentiation of granulosa cells and increasing the ovulation number, and further leading to the appearance of sheep high fertility phenotype.
At present, for single sheep, the propagation trait belongs to a low genetic trait, and obvious genetic progress is difficult to obtain in a short time through traditional phenotype breeding.

Mol/L) each, and sterilized ultrapure water was made up to 50. Mu.L. The PCR amplification procedure was: pre-denaturation at 95 ℃ for 5min; denaturation at 95℃for 30s, annealing at 58℃for 30s, elongation at 72℃for 30s,35 cycles; finally, the PCR products were subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis at 72℃for 7min, and the result is shown in FIG. 4, wherein the target band amplification length was 335bp, and the single PCR product which meets the target band length was sent to Sanger sequencing by Bio-company. Sequencing results were analyzed by sequence alignment using Chromas and Clustalx software to identify genotypes. Samples with consecutive peaks and disordered sequence in Sanger sequencing were cloned into pMD-19T vector, respectively, and 10 monoclonal sequences were randomly picked for further determination of edit type.
Sanger sequencing results (see FIGS. 5, 6) indicate that: at birth 19F 0 In the lambs, 9 individuals (4 females and 5 males) had replaced, deleted and inserted the FecB gene A746G site with an editing efficiency of 47.4% (see Table 2). Wherein the sequencing peak diagram of the PCR product of 5 individuals (2 individuals with 3 parents) only shows a G single peak at the target site, double allele A/G substitution occurs, and 5 individuals are homozygous genotypes (BB) (FIG. 5, # 1-5); sequencing peaks of PCR products of 1 individual (male) showed only A/G set peaks at the target site, which were heterozygous genotypes (B+) (FIGS. 5, # 6); in addition to the appearance of a cap peak at the target site, a continuous cap peak and disordered sequence at the sgRNA sequence of the PCR product sequencing peak map of 3 individuals (2 females and 1 males) need to be subjected to TA cloning to further determine the editing type. The TA clone sequencing result shows that the three areThe body has different types of edit modifications (fig. 5, #7, #8, #9-1 and # 9-2). FIG. 6 shows the results of insertion of single base G at positions 747-748 with the addition of an effective target mutation in which the A/G exact substitution occurred in individuals # 7; inserting 4bp base (TATC) at 745-746 position while the# 8 individual is subjected to A/G accurate replacement; the #9 individual has two editing types, namely, insertion of a single base G at 747-748 with accurate A/G substitution (same #7 individual), single base T/A substitution at 744, and deletion of a single base C at 745. CRISPR/Cas9 induced precise replacement efficiency is as high as 31.6% (6/19), demonstrating that Cas9 mediated HDR repair is effective in sheep production.
Example 3FecB Gene-edited sheep breeding and offspring lambing behavior
