Moreover, genetically engineered <em>S. cerevisiae</em> cells continue to be used as cell factories for production of biofuels, pharmaceutical proteins and food additives. Genetically modified strain of <em>S. cerevisiae</em> created using traditional methods is laborious and time consuming. Recently, originally an immune system in archaea and bacteria, Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats “CRISPR” and CRISPR-associated “Cas” have been used exploited&nbsp; as a flexible tool for genome editing. Until now, this tool has been applied to many organisms including yeast. Here, we review the importance of <em>S. cerevisiae</em> as an industrial platform and the use of CRISPR/Cas system and its applications in research and industry of this yeast.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Journal La Lifesci}, author={Imran, Yaseen Ismael and Ahmed, Ibrahim Abdulla and Mhawesh, Ahmed Ali}, year={2021}, month={Mar.}, pages={20-28} }
