Abstract excerpt
Editing bacterial genomes is an essential tool in research and synthetic biology applications. Here, we describe multiplex genome editing by natural transformation (MuGENT), a method for accelerated evolution based on the cotransformation of unlinked genetic markers in naturally competent microorganisms. We found that natural cotransformation allows scarless genome editing at unprecedented frequencies of ∼50%....
