Electroporation-Based CRISPR/Cas9 Mosaic Mutagenesis of beta-Tubulin in the Cultured Oyster
Genome editing using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 is enabling genetics improvement of productive traits in aquaculture. Previous studies have proven CRISPR/Cas9 to be feasible in oyster, one of the most cultured shellfish species. Here, we applied electropo...

Genome editing using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 is enabling genetics improvement of productive traits in aquaculture.
