Abstract: A method for scarless genome editing is disclosed. In particular, the method provides scarless genome modification by using homology directed repair (HDR) steps to genetically modify cells and remove unwanted sequences. This method can be used for genome editing, including introducing mutations, deletions, or insertions at any position in the genome without leaving silent mutations, selection marker sequences, or other additional undesired sequences in the genome.
