CRISPR-Cas9 strategies to insert MS2 stem-loops into endogenous loci in Drosophila embryos

Summary: CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing has transformed biology by enabling site-specific genome modifications to be simply engineered. Here, we describe two CRISPR-Cas9 approaches to introduce MS2 stem-loop sequences into endogenous gene loci in Drosophila. This can facilitate live imaging of nascent t...
