Genome editing technology has been successfully used in agricultural breeding, it is urgent to estab⁃
lish accurate identification and quantification technology based on molecular characteristics of genome-edited prod⁃
ucts. In this study, SP1 gene-edited rice was used as materials to develop an editing site-specific PCR method by
designing universal primer pair upstream and downstream of the editing sites, and gene editing site-specific Taq⁃
Man probes targeting at the editing sites. The results demonstrated that this method accurately identified specific ge⁃
nome-edited products with a detection sensitivity of 5-10 copies. The quantitative detection of genome-edited prod⁃
ucts was performed by both real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR). Since thousands of indepen⁃
dent droplets of ddPCR might eliminate the competitive consumption of universal primers by wild-type DNA, the
quantitative results of ddPCR showed higher quantitative accuracy than those of qPCR.

基因组编辑常用的特异性核酸酶主要包括锌指核
酸酶(zinc finger nucleases, ZFNs)、类转录激活因子
效应物核酸酶(transcription activator-like effector
nucleases, TALENs)、以及规则簇状间隔的短回文重
