Gene knock-ins in Drosophila using homology-independent insertion of universal donor plasmids
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/639484v1
Describes tools for creating knock-ins without the requirement for cloning homolgy arms.
A large-scale resource for tissue-specific CRISPR mutagenesis in Drosophila
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/636076v1
The authors describe large scale libraries for in vivo CRISPR mutagenesis, as well as a selection of uORF cas9 lines for tuning Cas9 expression, thus mitigating toxicity.
