Abstract

The present invention relates to methods for editing the genome of a microbial host cell in successive rounds of transformation. The method allows the introduction of genetic edits into the genome of a microbial host cell in an iterative fashion that does not require the use of functional counterselection following at least one round of transformation. It can be used to rapidly stack genetic edits in the genome of a microbial host cell. Kits for performing the methods are also disclosed.
