Application of CRISPR-Cas9 technology in metabolic engineering
Introduction A brief introduction to CRISPR-Cas9 technology CRISPR-Cas9 technology is a revolutionary gene editing tool based on the CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) system found in bacteria and archaea. This system originally existed as a defense mechanism against phage infection. CRISPR-Cas9 technology uses Cas9 protein and guide RNA (gRNA) to identify and cut…
