Abstract
The use of CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins has revolutionized manipulation of genomes. Here, we present a protocol for the electroporation of CRISPR-Cas for DNA and RNA targeting in Bos taurus zygotes. First, we describe steps for production and preparation of presumptive zygotes for electroporation. The first electroporation introduces ribonucleoproteins formed by Cas9D10A with two guide RNAs to target DNA, and the second introduces the same ribonucleoprotein complex to target DNA plus Cas13a with one guide RNA to target RNAs. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Nix et al.1.
