Abstrakt: Delivering molecular tools into oocytes is essential for developmental and reproductive biology. Microinjection, the conventional method, is equipment intensive, often technically challenging and has a low yield, and is impractical in species with delicate oocytes or restricted spawning seasons. To overcome these limitations, we developed VitelloTag, a cost-effective, high-throughput system using vitellogeninderived fusion proteins to enable efficient cargo delivery via receptormediated endocytosis. We demonstrate its utility by delivering Cas9/sgRNA complexes in two distantly related species for gene knockout. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
