Two-step CRISPR-Cas9 protocol for transposable element deletion in D. melanogaster natural populations

Summary: We present a protocol for generating a precise deletion, without altering the genetic background of the strain, of a transposable element (TE) in a natural population of Drosophila melanogaster using two steps of CRISPR-Cas9 homology-directed repair. We describe steps for replacing the TE b...
