Abstract

Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a model diatom with a growing molecular toolbox available for functional genomics studies. This protocol provides all the information needed to generate biallelic mutants in P. tricornutum, harboring genomic loci ablations, using a single multiplexed CRISPR-Cas9 plasmid and bacterial conjugation. It can be used to knockout lncRNAs or protein coding genes. It can also be adapted to other diatoms by replacing the P. tricornutum promoter(s) by species specific ones.
