Systematically attenuating DNA targeting enables CRISPR-driven editing in bacteria

Genome editing in bacteria normally requires efficient recombination and high transformation efficiencies, which often isn’t. Here the authors report that systematically attenuating DNA targeting activity enables RecA-mediated repair in different bacteria, allowing chromosomal cleavage to drive edit...
