1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundCorynebacterium glutamicum (C. glutamicum) has traditionally been used as a microbial cell factory for the industrial production of many amino acids and other industrially important commodities. C. glutamicum has recently been established as a host for recombinant protein expression; however, some intrinsic disadvantages could be improved by genetic modification. Gene editing techniques, such as deletion, insertion, or replacement, are important tools for modifying chromosomes.

resultsIn this research, we report a CRISPR/Cas9 system in C. glutamicum for rapid and efficient genome editing, including gene deletion and insertion. The system consists of two plasmids: one containing a target-specific guide RNA and a homologous sequence to a target gene, the other expressing Cas9 protein. With high efficiency (up to 100%), this system was used to disrupt the porB, mepA, clpX and Ncgl0911 genes, which affect the ability to express proteins. The porB- and mepA-deletion strains had enhanced expression of green fluorescent protein, compared with the wild-type stain. This system can also be used to engineer point mutations and gene insertions.

conclusionsIn this study, we adapted the CRISPR/Cas9 system from S. pyogens to gene deletion, point mutations and insertion in C. glutamicum. Compared with published genome modification methods, methods based on the CRISPR/Cas9 system can rapidly and efficiently achieve genome editing. Our research provides a powerful tool for facilitating the study of gene function, metabolic pathways, and enhanced productivity in C. glutamicum.
