Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen responsible for significant disease and mortality. Absent complete mating and other convenient methods, dissection of its virulence factors relies on robust tools to delete, complement, and otherwise modify genes of interest in this diploid organism. Here we describe the design principles and use of Cas9 and sgRNAs transiently expressed from PCR cassettes to modify genes of interest, generating homozygous mutants in a single transformation step.
