Host cells deficient for mismatch repair and their use in methods for inducing homologous recombination using single-stranded nucleic acids
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.

Title: Host cells deficient for mismatch repair and their use in methods for inducing homologous recombination using single-stranded nucleic acids
Usefulness: Host cells deficient for mismatch repair and their use in methods for inducing homologous recombination using single-stranded nucleic acids
Summary: (M1) is useful for inducing homologous recombination in a host cell having a target nucleic acid and deficient for mismatch repair (claimed).
Novelty: Inducing homologous recombination in host cell having target nucleic acid, by introducing nucleic acid molecule with nucleotides homologous to target, into host cell, inducing expression of single-stranded binding protein in host cell
