molecularNote | CRISPR/cas9 endonuclease-mediated genome editing is used to insert an amino acid substitution at position 82 altering serine to methionine (S82M - AGT to ATG) . The mutation is designed to partially humanize the mouse Ace2 coding sequence in a region important for binding to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. |
