Depositor Comments

XTEN was used as a linker in a Cas9 fusion protein by Komor et al., 2016: doi 10.1038/nature17946.

Please Note: Plasmid contains a S9Y mutation in HygR. It is not known how this mutation affects hygromycin function. Please visit https://doi.org/10.1101/639120 for bioRxiv preprint.
