Base editor-mediated large-scale screening of functional mutations in bacteria for industrial phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Base editing, the targeted introduction of point mutations into cellular DNA, holds promise for improving genome-scale functional genome screening to single-nucleotide resolution. Current efforts in prokaryotes, however, remain confined to loss-of-function screens using the premature stop codons-mediated gene inactivation library, which falls far short of fully releasing the potential of base editors. Here, we...
