CRISPR-FRT targets shared sites in a knock-out collection for off-the-shelf genome editing

Genome editing requires precise targeting of loci with specific gRNAs. Here the authors introduce CRISPR-FRT, which targets flippase recognition sites, common in bacterial genetic collections, for fast off-the-shelf genome engineering.
