a Design of a 20 bp section used to knock out VACV Spi2 showing premature stop (red), restriction sites (grey) and Spi2-gRNA site on parent genome. b Rapid protocol to create a VACV Spi2 knockout, showing steps taken to track selection. c Proportions of parent and desired recombinant after each step as determined by PCR. Pies and adjacent numbers show the average from 10 plaques at each step from two independent experiments. Grey boxes show frequency of the desired recombinant after analysing 100 plaques after recombination and after two rounds of selection.
