CRISPR/Cas9-deaminase enables robust base editing in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1

Abstract Background CRISPR/Cas9 systems have been repurposed as canonical genome editing tools in a variety of species, but no application for the model strain Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 was unveiled. Results Here we showed two kinds of programmable base editing systems, cytosine base editors (CB...
