Gene repression with the efficiency and specificity of CRISPR in yeast is no longer a dream! In this episode of Genetics in your world, Dr. Ishikawa tells us about how he and colleagues adapted CRISPR interference for fission yeast, allowing controllable reversible and efficient transcriptional repression. Check out the paper,— “Implementation of dCas9-mediated CRISPRi in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe,”—that was published in the February 2021 issue of G3.
