== Protocol ==

 1. Digest pDR274 vector (available from Addgene: http://www.addgene.org/crispr/jounglab/CRISPRzebrafish/) using the following conditions: a. 1 µg of pDR274 b. 5 µl BsaI-HF c. 5 µl NEB 4 d. H2O to 50 µl

2. Gel isolate digested pDR274 vector backbone

3. Normalize concentration of purified, digested vector to 5 ng/µl in ddH20

4. Anneal two 26 nt oligonucleotides (designed using the web-based ZiFiT Targeter program available here: http://zifit.partners.org) in a thermocycler: a. 1 µl 100 µM Oligo 1 b. 1 µl 100 µM Oligo 2 c. 5 µl 10X annealing buffer d. 43 µl H2O

e. 95 °C f. -1°C per 30 seconds g. 4 °C

5. Ligate annealed oligonucleotides to digested pDR274 vector backbone as follows: a. 1 µl backbone (@ 5ng/µl) b. 3 µl annealed oligo c. 1 µl T4 DNA Ligase d. 5 µl 2X QLB Incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature

 6. Transform ligation into XL-1 Blue cells as follows: a. 5 µl of ligation b. 45 µl of chemically competent XL1-Blue cells

c. Ice for 2 min d. 42 ° C for 45 seconds e. Ice for 2 min

f. Add 450 µl of LB and recover at 37°C with shaking for 1 hr g. Plate 100 µl on LB plates containing 30 µg/ml kanamycin h. Grow overnight at 37°C

 7. Inoculate single colonies into 1ml of LB supplemented with 30 µg/ml kanamycin

 8. Grow cultures overnight at 37°C

 9. Isolate plasmids using standard mini-prep procedure

 10. Sequence candidate plasmids using M13 primer (see Hwang et al., Nat Biotechnol. 2013 for sequence). Full sequence of plasmid pDR274 is available:  http://www.addgene.org/42250/sequences/.
