The CRISPR-on system is a programmable, simple, and versatile gene activator that has proven to be efficient in cultured cells from several species and in bovine embryos. This technology allows for the precise and specific activation of single endogenous gene expression and also multiplexed gene expression in a simple fashion. Therefore, CRISPR-on has unique advantages over other activator systems and a wide adaptability for studies in basic and applied science, such as cell reprogramming and cell fate differentiation for regenerative medicine.In this chapter, we describe the materials and methods of the CRISPR-on system for activation of the endogenous SMARCA4 expression in bovine embryos.
