agents, and immunosuppressants. To highlight the ability of fungi to produce structurally
diverse NPs, this article focuses on the impact of genome mining and CRISPR-Cas9
technology in uncovering and manipulating the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs)
responsible for NP synthesis. The CRISPR-Cas9 system, originally identified as a bacterial
adaptive immune mechanism, has been adapted for precise genome editing in fungi …
