"A Comparative Analysis of Genetic Editing Techniques in Mouse Retinal Cells"

While the CRISPR/Cas9 system has quickly become a standard for genetic editing, in certain circumstances its efficiency in creating edits is relatively low. Therefore it is important to compare currently employed genetic editing techniques to the CRISPR/Cas9 system to determine which will lead to the highest efficiency. I am comparing intravitreal injection with the CRISPR/Cas9 system as a method to create mutations in the mouse retinal ganglion cells.
