Genome-scale engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with single-nucleotide precision

Nat Biotechnol. 2018 Jul;36(6):505-508. doi: 10.1038/nbt.4132. Epub 2018 May 7.

Abstract

We developed a CRISPR-Cas9- and homology-directed-repair-assisted genome-scale engineering method named CHAnGE that can rapidly output tens of thousands of specific genetic variants in yeast. More than 98% of target sequences were efficiently edited with an average frequency of 82%. We validate the single-nucleotide resolution genome-editing capability of this technology by creating a genome-wide gene disruption collection and apply our method to improve tolerance to growth inhibitors.
