  • Publication number: 20210285014
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for editing the genome of a microbial host cell in one or more rounds of transformation. The method allows the introduction of genetic edits into the genome of a microbial host cell in a pooled and/or iterative fashion that does not require the use of functional counterselection following at least one round of transformation. It can be used to rapidly stack genetic edits in the genome of a microbial host cell. Compositions and kits for performing the methods are also disclosed.
