CRISPR-Cas9 loss of function (LOF) screens are powerful systems biology tools that allow genome-wide perturbation studies. While currently possible in many model species, such an approach has yet to be developed in yeast because of low mutagenesis rates without donor DNA for homology directed repair. Here we develop a double selection strategy based on co-selection to dramatically increase LOF mutation rates, both for CRISPR-Cas9 and the Target-AID base editor. We constructed the pDYSCKO vector, which is amenable to high throughput double selection both for LOF by CRISPR-Cas9 and Target-AID mutagenesis. We develop and use a model of CRISPR-LOF barcode sequencing competition screens to show that this improvement provides an important increase in statistical power when attempting to detect the fitness effects of mutations. We also show that multiplex genome editing with Cas9 in yeast causes programmable chromosomal translocations at high frequency, suggesting that multiplex editing should be performed with caution. This tool will allow the development of new S.cerevisiaesystems biology workflows and should prove compatible with most resources already available for yeast.
