CRISPR/Cas9 mediated T7 RNA polymerase gene knock-in in E. coli BW25113 makes T7 expression system work efficiently

Abstract T7 Expression System is a common method of ensuring tight control and high-level induced expression. However, this system can only work in some bacterial strains in which the T7 RNA Polymerase gene resides in the chromosome. In this study, we successfully introduced a chromosomal copy of th...
