Abstract excerpt
Industrial microalgae are promising photosynthetic cell factories, yet tools for large-scale targeted genome engineering are limited. Here for the model industrial oleaginous microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica, we established a method to precisely and serially delete large genome fragments of ~100 kb from its 30.01 Mb nuclear genome. We started by identifying the 'non-essential' chromosomal regions (i.e. low...
