Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of editing a filamentous fungal genome by direct introduction of a genome editing protein molecule or complex. The method includes three modes. In the first mode, a genome editing protein molecule or complex for a target gene is directly introduced into a cell of an Aspergillus fungus, to edit a gene in the Aspergillus fungal genome. In the second mode, a genome editing protein molecule or complex for a target region in a filamentous fungal genome, and a desired DNA fragment, are directly introduced into a filamentous fungal cell, to knock-in the DNA fragment to a desired target site in the filamentous fungal genome. In the third mode, genome editing protein molecules or complexes for plural target genes are directly introduced into a filamentous fungal cell, to carry out simultaneous editing of the plural genes in the filamentous fungal genome.
