The MyLO CRISPR-Cas9 toolkit: a markerless yeast localization and overexpression CRISPR-Cas9 toolkit
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The genetic tractability of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has made it a key model organism for basic research and a target for metabolic engineering. To streamline the introduction of tagged genes and compartmental markers with powerful Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) - CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-based genome editing tools, we constructed a Markerless Yeast Localization and Overexpression (MyLO) CRISPR-Cas9 toolkit with 3 components: (1) a set of optimized Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9-guide RNA expression vectors with 5 selectable markers and the option to either preclone or cotransform the gRNAs; (2) vectors for the one-step construction of integration cassettes expressing an untagged or green fluorescent protein/red fluorescent protein/hemagglutinin-tagged gene of interest at one of 3 levels, supporting localization and overexpression studies; and (3) integration cassettes containing moderately expressed green fluorescent protein- or red fluorescent protein-tagged compartmental markers for colocalization experiments. These components allow rapid, high-efficiency genomic integrations and modifications with only transient selection for the Cas9 vector, resulting in markerless transformations. To demonstrate the ease of use, we applied our complete set of compartmental markers to colabel all target subcellular compartments with green fluorescent protein and red fluorescent protein. Thus, the MyLO toolkit packages CRISPR-Cas9 technology into a flexible, optimized bundle that allows the stable genomic integration of DNA with the ease of use approaching that of transforming plasmids.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
