Applications of CRISPR/Cas9 systems for gene editing in Bacillus spp.

Abstract

CRISPR/Cas (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein) is an immune system in prokaryotic organisms that plays a role in defending against foreign genetic elements, such as plasmid invasion and bacteriophage attacks. The key event occurred in 2013 when this technology was identified as capable of editing human genes...
