Abstract excerpt
Characterizing functions of essential genes is challenging, as perturbing them is generally lethal. Conditional gene perturbation, including use of temperature-sensitive mutants, has been widely utilized to reveal functions of essential genes in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. However, recently we implemented a systematic and less time-consuming knockdown method, CRISPR interference (CRISPRi), in...
