Development of a pVEC peptide-based ribonucleoprotein (RNP) delivery system for genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Abstract Recent technical advances related to the CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing system have enabled sophisticated genome editing in microalgae. Although the demand for research on genome editing in microalgae has increased over time, methodological research has not been established to date for th...
