increasing the speed and complexity of the experiments that can be performed. Moreover,
the efficiency of the system often allows genetic engineering to be introduced in non-model
species. The efficiency of CRISPR gene editing is due to the formation of specific DNA
double-strand breaks made by RNA guided nucleases. In filamentous fungi, only Cas9 has
so far been used as the CRISPR nuclease. Since, gene editing with Cas9 is limited by its …
