Abstract

The release of the first complete microbial genome sequences at the end of the past century opened the way for functional genomics and systems-biology to uncover the genetic basis of various phenotypes. The surge of available sequence data facilitated the development of novel genome editing techniques for system-level analytical studies. Recombineering allowed unprecedented throughput and efficiency in microbial genome editing and the recent discovery and widespread use of RNA guided endonucleases offered several further perspectives: (i) previously recalcitrant species became editable, (ii) the efficiency of recombineering could be elevated, and as a result (iii) diverse genomic libraries could be generated more effectively. Supporting recombineering by RNA-guided endonucleases has led to success stories in metabolic engineering, but their use for system-level analysis is mostly unexplored. For the full exploitation of opportunities that are offered by the genome editing proficiency, future development of large scale analytical procedures is also vitally needed.
