Donor transgenic construct for use in the homology assisted CRISPR knock-in (HACK) method. Designed to convert a GAL4 line to a Cas9(D10A) line in vivo. The construct carries a 2A-Cas9(D10A) coding sequence flanked by GAL4 homology arms, a dual-gRNA cassette that ubiquitously expresses 2 gRNAs targeting GAL4 coding sequences (one using the 'CR7T' pol III promoter and the other using the snRNA:U6:96Ac promoter) and a ubiquitous nuclear mTagBFP2 marker. When combined with a source of Cas9 and the GAL4 line of interest, the gRNAs generate double-strand breaks in the middle of the GAL4 coding sequence and allow in-frame incorporation of 2A-Cas9(D10A) via homology-directed repair. The 'self-cleaving' 2A peptide will release Cas9(D10A) and a truncated and nonfunctional GAL4 as two separate proteins after translation.
