The CRIMPkit contains over 30 ready-to-use plasmid vectors allowing easy and complete mutagenesis of any gene in any reading frame without requiring custom sequences, modification, or subcloning, and also provides a fluorescent readout of successfully mutagenised fish.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
