Mutagenic inverted repeats assisted genome engineering (MIRAGE) in saccharomyces cerevisiae: Deletion of gal7

Nikhil U. Nair, Huimin Zhao

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

MIRAGE is a unique in vivo genome editing technique that exploits the inherent instability of inverted repeats (palindromes) in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome. As a technique able to quickly create deletions as well as precise point mutations, it is valuable in applications that require creation of designer strains of this yeast. In particular, it has various potential applications in metabolic engineering, systems biology, synthetic biology, and molecular genetics.
