Polar mutagenesis of polycistronic bacterial transcriptional units using Cas12a
Abstract Background Functionally related genes in bacteria are often organized and transcribed as polycistronic transcriptional units. Examples are the fim operon, which codes for biogenesis of type 1 fimbriae in Escherichia coli, and the atp operon, which codes for the FoF1 ATP synthase. We tested...
