CRISPR/CAS9 mutagenesis of a single r-opsin gene blocks phototaxis in a marine larva
Many marine animals depend upon a larval phase of their life cycle to locate suitable habitat, and larvae use light detection to influence swimming behaviour and dispersal. Light detection is mediated by the opsin genes, which encode light-sensitive transmembrane proteins. Previous studies suggest t...
