Abstract: In orderto obtain accurate mutation information, 3 methods of monitoring the biological activities of artificial nuclease are preliminary determined excluding direct sequencing.The 3 methods of Surveyor nuclease, T7E1(T7 Endonuclease 1)and HRM(High resolution melting)are all based on the principle of forming the twisted duplex DNA from denaturized annealing mutant and wild type DNA sequence, and whether or not target sites were mutated were determined.The results showed that using the 3 detection methods, the mutations at the target sites of exon 1's CRISPR/Cas9 and exon 3's TALEN in ovine gene MNST were successfully detected.Analyzing and comparingthe results and characteristics of the 3 methods, the advantages and disadvantages of them were obtained, which provided a reference for the analysis and identification of results while the cells uses non-homologous ends to join and repair DNA double strand breaks.In conclusion, the results by Surveyor, T7E1 and HRM show that CRISPR/Cas9 and TALEN’s target sites are mutated.
