Title: Constructs and methods for genome editing and genetic engineering of fungi and protists

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1771742

Provided herein are constructs for genome editing or genetic engineering its fungi or protists, methods of using the constructs and media for use in selecting cells. The construct include a polynucleotide encoding a thymidine kinase operably connected to a promoter, suitably a constitutive promoter; a polynucleotide encoding an endonuclease operably connected to an inducible promoter; and a recognition site for the endonuclease. The constructs may also include selectable markers for use in selecting recombinations.
