In vitro Cas9-assisted editing of modular polyketide synthase genes to produce desired natural product derivatives

Several different genetic strategies have been reported for the modification of polyketide synthases but the highly repetitive modular structure makes this difficult. Here the authors report on an adapted Cas9 reaction and Gibson assembly to edit a target region of the polyketide synthases gene in v...
