Popis: Abstract Background Increasing the permeability of the zona pellucida (ZP) of oocytes before CRISPR/Cas9 electroporation may improve the efficiency of gene editing; however, the effects of this approach on subsequent developmental processes are unclear. In this study, the effects of ZP treatment before electroporation on embryonic development and gene editing in porcine embryos were evaluated. Methods The ZP of zygotes was weakened or removed by exposure to 0.5% actinase E, followed by electroporation of the Cas9 protein with guide RNA targeting GGTA1. Results The blastocyst formation rate of ZP‐free zygotes after electroporation was significantly lower (p
