Efficient genome editing of an extreme thermophile, Thermus thermophilus, using a thermostable Cas9 variant
Abstract Thermophilic organisms are extensively studied in industrial biotechnology, for exploration of the limits of life, and in other contexts. Their optimal growth at high temperatures presents a challenge for the development of genetic tools for their genome editing, since genetic markers and s...
