Creation of targeted inversion mutations in plants using an RNA-guided endonuclease

Creation of targeted inversion mutations in plants using an RNA-guided endonuclease

Inversions are DNA rearrangements that are essential for plant gene evolution and adaptation to environmental changes. We demonstrate the creation of targeted inversions and previously reported targeted deletion mutations via delivery of a pair of RNA-guided endonucleases (RGENs) of CRISPR/Cas9. The...
