Abstract
This chapter describes the trackable multiplex recombineering (TRMR) and tunable trackable multiplex recombineering (T2RMR) techniques, which not only make the multiplexing of recombineering possible in Escherichia coli but also provide the ability to track the engineered genetic changes accurately. TRMR and T2RMR have only been used for modifying the expression level of genes. Screening and selection of TRMR and T2RMR clones can be carried out using either liquid or solid media with any chemical compound that modifies growth or confers a phenotype that can be detected by a high-throughput assay. In order to engineer a genome using TRMR or T2RMR, a synthetic DNA (synDNA) cassette is created that encodes for a genetic feature and a molecular barcode that is used to track each feature. These synDNA cassettes are then introduced in parallel into cell populations via recombineering.
