It has been used to modify genes in a wide variety of organisms, but only two alga to date. Here we present a methodology to edit the genome of Thalassiosira pseudonana, a model centric diatom with both ecological significance and high biotechnological potential, using CRISPR-Cas %K CRISPR-Cas %K Diatom %K Genome editing %K Urease %K Golden Gate %K Thalassiosira pseudonana %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5121945/
