Efficient marker free CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing for functional analysis of gene families in filamentous fungi

Abstract Background CRISPR/Cas9 mediated genome editing has expedited the way of constructing multiple gene alterations in filamentous fungi, whereas traditional methods are time-consuming and can be of mutagenic nature. These developments allow the study of large gene families that contain putative...
