The bacterial cell cycle checkpoint protein Obg and its role in programmed cell death

Microbial Cell, 2016
The phenomenon of programmed cell death (PCD), in which cells initiate their own demise, is not restricted to multicellular organisms. Unicellular organisms, both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, also possess pathways that mediate PCD.

CRISPR-FRT targets shared sites in a knock-out collection for off-the-shelf genome editing

Nature Communications, 2018
Genome editing requires precise targeting of loci with specific gRNAs. Here the authors introduce CRISPR-FRT, which targets flippase recognition sites, common in bacterial genetic collections, for fast off-the-shelf genome engineering.
