Multiple mutations were simultaneously introduced into the vit-3, vit-4, and vit-5 loci using a single crRNA to produce vit-5(rhd322[T391E, L392F, A393*]), vit-4(rhd321[T391E, L392F, A393*]), and vit-3(rhd320[T391E, L392F, A393*]). A similar strategy was used to create vit-6(rhd332[S320F, W322*]). vit-2(rhd352) is a CRISPR-engineered deletion removing the entire vit-2 coding sequence generated in parental strain DLS1004 to produce DLS1102.
