A Cloning-Free Method for CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Genome Editing in Fission Yeast

The CRISPR/Cas9 system, which relies on RNA‐guided DNA cleavage to induce site-specific DNA double-strand breaks, is a powerful tool for genome editing. This system has been successfully adapted for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe by expressing Cas9 and the single-guide RNA (sgRNA) from...
