I have a question about restriction enzymes and their use in helping to ID CRISPR induced mutations. Once a CRISPR causes an indel at a target sequence, a restriction enzyme can be used to screen several individuals exposed to the CRISPR, screening them for signs of an indel. I am not clear on a point related to this. Do I need to choose a restriction enzyme that binds to the area where the CRISPR induces a mutation? Or do I need to choose a restriction enzyme that cuts in the area where the CRISPR induces a mutation?
