Highly Efficient Targeted Mutagenesis of Drosophila with the CRISPR/Cas9 System

Here, we present a simple and highly efficient method for generating and detecting mutations of any gene in Drosophila melanogaster through the use of the CRISPR/Cas9 system (clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated). We show that injection of RNA into the Drosophila emb...
