Development of an Efficient Genome Editing Method by CRISPR/Cas9 in a Fish Cell Line

This project was carried out during CD’s BBSRC Eastbio PIPS placement at Marine Scotland. The authors are grateful to Dr Milena Monte (University of Aberdeen) for help with the FACS analysis. The authors wish to thank Dr Filippo Del Bene (Neuronal Circuit Development, Institut Curie) and Dr Wenbiao Chen (School of Medicine, Vanderbilt University) for the Addgene plasmids, #61051 and #47929, respectively, and Prof. Nancy C. Reich Marshall (Department of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, Stony Brooks University) for the plasmid pmEGFP-N1.
