Abstract
CRISPR assisted homology directed repair enables the introduction of virtually any modification to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome. Of obvious interest is the marker-free and seamless introduction of point mutations. To fulfill this promise, a strategy that effects single nucleotide changes while preventing repeated recognition and cutting by the gRNA/Cas9 complex is needed. We demonstrate a two-step method to introduce point mutations at 17 positions in the S. cerevisiae genome. We show the general applicability of the method, enabling the seamless introduction of single nucleotide changes at any location, including essential genes and non-coding regions. We also show a quantifiable phenotype for a point mutation introduced in gene GSH1. The ease and wide applicability of this general method, combined with the demonstration of its feasibility will enable genome editing at an unprecedented level of detail in yeast and other organisms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
