An efficient vector-based CRISPR/Cas9 system in an Oreochromis mossambicus cell line using endogenous promoters

Abstract CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing is effective in manipulating genetic loci in mammalian cell cultures and whole fish but efficient platforms applicable to fish cell lines are currently limited. Our initial attempts to employ this technology in fish cell lines using heterologous promoters or a ribon...
