Cas9/gRNA-mediated genome editing of yeast mitochondria and Chlamydomonas chloroplasts

We present a new approach to edit both mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes. Organelles have been considered off-limits to CRISPR due to their impermeability to most RNA and DNA. This has prevented applications of Cas9/gRNA-mediated genome editing in organelles while the tool has been widely used f...
