SyngenicDNA: stealth-based evasion of restriction-modification barriers during bacterial genetic engineering
2018-08-09
Abstract excerpt
Restriction-modification (RM) systems hinder the use of genetic approaches in the vast majority of bacteria. Here, we describe a systematic approach to adapt genetic tools for use in bacteria that are genetically intractable or poorly tractable owing to active RM defenses. In this process, we determine the genome and methylome of a bacterial strain and use this information to define the bacterium’s RM target motif...
