Peel-1 negative selection promotes screening-free CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Improved genome engineering methods that enable automation of large and precise edits are essential for systematic investigations of genome function. We adapted peel-1 negative selection to an optimized Dual-Marker Selection (DMS) cassette protocol for CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering in Caenorhabditi...
