Inducible high-efficiency CRISPR-Cas9-targeted gene editing and precision base editing in African trypanosomes

Abstract excerpt

Abstract The Cas9 endonuclease can be programmed by guide RNA to introduce sequence-specific breaks in genomic DNA. Thus, Cas9-based approaches present a range of novel options for genome manipulation and precision editing. African trypanosomes are parasites that cause lethal human and animal diseases. They also serve as models for studies on eukaryotic biology, including ‘divergent’ biology. Genome modification,...
