Abstract: The invention relates to a novel system for nucleic acid engineering utilizing components of IS110 family transposons. IS110 transposases encoded by IS110 elements were identified to utilize an RNA sequence, termed the bridgeRNA, which targets donor and target sequence sites for polynucleotide recombination reactions. In certain aspects, the application relates to the utilization and reprogramming of the bridgeRNA to direct IS110 transposases to integrate sequences at predetermined sites. Programmable insertion, excisive recombination, and/or inversion enables the integration or transposition of any polynucleotide sequence encoding a donor site or target site recognized by the IS110 transposase into any other polynucleotide sequence containing a target site sequence or donor site sequence, respectively, using an IS110 transposase and bridgeRNA.
