Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The CRISPR/Cas9 system has become an efficient gene editing method for generating cells carrying precise gene mutations, including the rearrangement and deletion of chromosomal segments. However, whether an entire chromosome could be eliminated by this technology is still unknown. RESULTS: Here we demonstrate the use of the CRISPR/Cas9 system to eliminate targeted chromosomes. Using either multiple...
