TLDR
A bacterial CRISPR RNA/Cas9 system is adapted to precisely engineer the Drosophila genome and it is reported that Cas9-mediated genomic modifications are efficiently transmitted through the germline.Abstract:
We have adapted a bacterial CRISPR RNA/Cas9 system to precisely engineer the Drosophila genome and report that Cas9-mediated genomic modifications are efficiently transmitted through the germline. This RNA-guided Cas9 system can be rapidly programmed to generate targeted alleles for probing gene function in Drosophila.read more

Living well with a scrambled metabolism : CO 2 fixation and carbohydrate pathways in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum
TL;DR: This paper presents the results of a large-scale study of the distribution of inorganic carbon fixing enzymes in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum and their effects on RNA interference and cell reprograming.
