  1. Transfer method: gRNA/Cas9 and long single-stranded DNA (lssDNA) transferred by microinjection (MI) or electroporation (EL). Embryos transferred: two-cell embryos were transferred into a surrogate mother. LD: large fragments deleted between two gRNA targeting sites. loxP and flox: positive for either one or two loxP sites, respectively
  2. aAll three rats carried a missense mutation, P56S, together with floxed alleles. Conditional: conditional knockouts by homozygous floxed alleles or heterozygous floxed with LD alleles in F0 animals
  3. bSite-specific recombination confirmed by crossing with Cre-driver mice
  4. cSite-specific recombination confirmed in Cre-expressing tissues of F0 mice
  5. - not identified
