A versatile one-step CRISPR-Cas9 based approach to plasmid-curing

Abstract Background Plasmids are widely used and essential tools in molecular biology. However, plasmids often impose a metabolic burden and are only temporarily useful for genetic engineering, bio-sensing and characterization purposes. While numerous techniques for genetic manipulation exist, a uni...
