Abstract excerpt
In recent years, CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic editing has become a mainstay in many laboratories including manipulations done with yeast. We utilized this technique to generate a self-cloned wine yeast strain that overexpresses two genes of oenological relevance i.e. the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (GPD1) and the alcohol acetyltransferase 1 (ATF1) directly implicated in glycerol and acetate ester production...
