Modular (de)construction of complex bacterial phenotypes by CRISPR/nCas9-assisted, multiplex cytidine base-editing

Rapid engineering of bacterial genomes is a requisite for both fundamental and applied studies. Here the authors develop an enhanced, broad-host-range cytidine base editor that enables multiplexed and efficient genome editing of Gram-negative bacteria.
