Characterizing a thermostable Cas9 for bacterial genome editing and silencing

CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering tools have found wide application in a range of species, however they are unsuitable for applications at elevated temperatures. Here the authors characterise ThermoCas9 from which is functional from 20°C to 70°C.
