It's that simple.
The purpose of our project is to utilize the a
filamentous-fungi-specific CRISPR-Cas9 system 1 in
conjunction with an optogenetic system 2 to construct a
fast acting kill switch system for genetically engineered
fungi, which is becoming ever more popular method for
dealing with insect pest around the world. Two plasmids
will be constructed, each carrying a module of our
two part system.
