Objective:Construct YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 1(Ythdf1) knockout mice and study its role during mouse spermatogenesis. Methods:Ythdf1 knockout mice were generated by microinjection of CRISPR/Cas9 into zygote successfully. The role of Ythdf1 in mouse spermatogenesis was detected by immunofluorescence,HE and fertility test. Results:The results of RT-PCR showed that Ythdf1 was expressed in the testis of 1 to 8-week-old male mice. Ythdf1 knockout mice were successfully generated. These knockout mice showed normal spermatogenesis,epididymis morphology and fertility. Conclusion:This study found that deletion of Ythdf1 gene had no effect on spermatogenesis under normal breeding conditions.
