This document describes a study on using CRISPR/Cas9 for genome editing in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The goal was to analyze the activity of self-targeting guide RNAs (stgRNAs) in yeast. Methods included constructing plasmids containing Cas9 and an stgRNA in E. coli, then integrating them into the yeast genome using homologous recombination. Activity was assayed using a T7 endonuclease assay to detect mutations from Cas9 cutting the target sequence. Results showed the stgRNA was effective in yeast and that Cas9 was active even at low levels due to leaky expression from the inducible promoter. Future applications could include protein engineering and gene therapy research
