Gene manipulation in the Mucorales fungus Rhizopus oryzae using TALENs with exonuclease overexpression.
Article in FEMS microbiology letters, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
The Mucorales fungal genus Rhizopus is used for the industrial production of organic acids, enzymes and fermented foods. The metabolic engineering efficiency of Rhizopus could be improved using gene manipulation; however, exogenous DNA rarely integrates into the host genome. Consequently, a genetic tool for Mucorales fungi needs to be developed. Recently, programmable nucleases that generate DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) at specific genomic loci have been used for genome editing in various organisms. In this study, we examined gene disruption in Rhizopus oryzae using transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), with and without exonuclease overexpression. TALENs with an overexpressing exonuclease induced DSBs, followed by target site deletions. Although DSBs are repaired mainly by nonhomologous end joining in most organisms, our results suggested that in R. oryzae microhomology-mediated end joining was the major DSB repair system. Our gene manipulation method using TALENs coupled with exonuclease overexpression contributes to basic scientific knowledge and the metabolic engineering of Rhizopus.
