A quick and efficient method enabling lncRNA functional studies in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum using a multiplexed CRISPR-Cas9 editing approach

Background Long non protein coding (lnc)RNAs are ubiquitous transcripts known to be major regulators of cellular processes in eukaryotes. In diatoms, specific lncRNA expression is tightly correlated to nutrient fluctuations, which suggests function, but their biological relevance remains to be established. In order to...
