cubeClvR2: Inheritance Cube: 2-Locus ClvR (Cleave and Rescue)

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

View source: R/Cube-ClvR2.R

Description

Based on the Cleave-and-Rescue system of Oberhofer, this is a 3-locus Cas9-based toxin-antidote system. The first locus carries the Cas9, the second locus carries the gRNAs, and a recoded copy of an essential gene. The third locus is the targeted essential gene. This gene can be completely haplosufficient (hSuf = 1) or completely haploinsufficient (hSuf = 0). It is assumed that having 2 copies of the gene (be it wild-type at the second locus or recoded at the first) confers complete viability. Additionally, loci 1 and 2 can be linked, given crM and crF, imitating the original 2-locus ClvR system. For this construct, the first locus will have 2 alleles, the second will have 2 alleles, and the third will have 3 alleles:

Details

Female deposition is implemented incorrectly. Right now, it is performed on male alleles prior to zygote formation - it should happen post-zygote formation. Since this construct doesn't have HDR, this should be fine.
Additionally, it is assumed that deposition requries loaded Cas9-RNP complexes from the mother, having Cas9 and no maternal gRNA, even in the presence of paternal gRNA, will not result in maternal deposition mediated cleavage.

Copy-number dependent rates are based on Cas9, not gRNA. The assumption is that RNA is easier to produce, and therefore won't limit cleavage by Cas9.

Value

Named list containing the inheritance cube, transition matrix, genotypes, wild-type allele, and all genotype-specific parameters.
