Abstract
Methods are disclosed herein for inducing homologous recombination in a host cell comprising a target nucleic acid, using a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule. The single-stranded nucleic acid molecule has a sufficient number of nucleotides homologous to the target nucleic acid to enable homologous recombination with the target nucleic acid. The host cell includes a de-repressible promoter operably linked to a nucleic acid encoding a single-stranded binding protein and is deficient for mismatch repair. Isolated host cells of use in this method are also disclosed.
