Abstract
Summary Here, we present a CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing protocol for Saccharomyces cerevisiae that simplifies guide construction and enables rapid guide iteration by replacing restriction/ligation cloning with PCR-based guide installation and seamless Cas9-plasmid recircularization. We describe single-guide RNA (sgRNA) and homology-directed repair (HDR) donor design, guide insertion into a KanMX/G418-selectable Cas9-sgRNA plasmid, plasmid cloning and sequence verification in E. coli, and lithium acetate/polyethylene glycol (LiAc/PEG) co-transformation of yeast with the verified plasmid and HDR donor.
This protocol enables quantification of INDELs and DNA-SVs, allowing for validation of gene disruption, and describes guide RNA (gRNA) design, plasmid cloning, delivery of AAV-CRISPR to the liver, and execution of liver DNA-editing analysis.

Summary Jurkat cells are a versatile cell-line model utilized across multiple areas of biology. Here, we present a protocol for inserting DNA sequences (knockins) at an endogenous locus using CRISPR-Cas9 technology via homology-directed repair (HDR). We describe steps for designing, constructing, and validating endogen...
