It is demonstrated that CRISPR can be employed to edit Acanthamoeba genes using a knock-in approach and serves as a foundation to further develop A. castellanii as a model system with which to study diverse questions in cell and molecular biology, biochemistry and evolution.
Cpf1-based genome editing tools were developed for N. punctiforme, and a single-step cloning strategy was devised, allowing for rapid assembly of editing plasmids, and improved conjugation protocols for genetic transfer from E. coli to N. punctiforme were implemented.

Compared with conventional homologous recombination, the CRISPR-Cas9 system substantially improved gene disruption efficiency, thereby overcoming a major limitation in the genetic manipulation of lichen-forming fungi.

It is demonstrated that Avr4 does not explain the resistance of Calcutta 4, suggesting that resistance is instead triggered by the recognition of other hitherto unknown effectors.

An inducible genome-editing framework exploiting the endogenous Cas9 system of Apilactobacillus kunkeei, a key member of the honeybee microbiota, is established and the toolkit available for harnessing endogenous CRISPR-Cas systems in genetically recalcitrant, non-model gram-positive bacteria is expanded.

This work sequenced the genome of the biological control eriophyoid mite Floracarus perrepae, which has one of the smallest genomes of any arthropod, and investigates why these mites have such small genomes.
