Abstract excerpt
Candida albicans is a human fungal pathogen capable of causing life-threatening infections. The ability to edit the C. albicans genome using CRISPR/Cas9 is an important tool investigators can leverage in their search for novel therapeutic targets. However, wild-type Cas9 requires an NGG protospacer adjacent motif (PAM), leaving many AT-rich regions of DNA inaccessible. A recently described near-PAMless CRISPR...
