Deskripsi
Manger, Ermel, and Frangakis report the use of CRISPR/Cas9 to stably insert multiple copies of a particular gene-of-interest near the 35S rRNA gene, to allow direct visualization of gene clusters with electron microscopy. They achieve more than 7-fold enrichment of associated Pol III complexes within the field of view, demonstrating the utility of the approach.
