Inducible CRISPRi-based operon silencing and selective <i>in trans</i> gene complementation in <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i>
2022-12-08
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> To accelerate genetic studies on the Lyme disease pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi , we developed an enhanced CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) approach for IPTG-inducible repression of specific B. burgdorferi genes. The entire system is encoded on a compact 11-kb shuttle vector plasmid that allows for inducible expression of both the sgRNA module and a non-toxic codon-optimized dCas9 protein. We val...
