Fig 4. Duplication of hsvtk enables a two-round consecutive recombineering.

Fig 4

(a) Killing efficiency of dP-selection against E. coli strain harboring a single hsvtk gene (HK cassette) or duplicated hsvtk (HKH cassette), ND: Not detected. The bar heights show the average of 3 samples, and error bars indicate the standard deviation. (b) The experimental workflow for a two-round consecutive recombineering: lacZ and proV loci were serially replaced with pL-gfp mut3.1 and pT5-mrfp cassette respectively using HK or HKH. All DNA cassettes used here were prepared with 40-bp homology arms to the individual target sites, except the step for replacing lacZ with pL-gfp mut3.1 cassette where 1-kbp homology arms were adopted.
