We consider the Wright-Fisher model for a population of [Formula: see text] individuals, each identified with a sequence of a finite number of sites, and single-crossover recombination between them. We trace back the ancestry of single individuals from the present population. In the [Formula: see text] limit without rescaling of parameters or time, this ancestral process is described by a random tree, whose branching events correspond to the splitting of the sequence due to recombination. With the help of a decomposition of the trees into subtrees, we calculate the probabilities of the topologies of the ancestral trees. At the same time, these probabilities lead to a semi-explicit solution of the deterministic single-crossover equation. The latter is a discrete-time dynamical system that emerges from the Wright-Fisher model via a law of large numbers and has been waiting for a solution for many decades.

Background: Selection markers are useful in genetic modification of yeast Pichia pastoris. However, the leakage of the promoter caused undesired expression of selection markers especially those toxic proteins like MazF, halting the cell growth and hampering the genetic manipulation in procaryotic system. In this study, a new counter-selectable marker-based strategy has been established for seamless modification with high efficiency and low toxicity.

Gene knockout is a widely used technique for engineering bacterial genomes, investigating the roles of genes in metabolism, and conferring biological characteristics. Herein, we developed a rapid, efficient, and simple method for the knockout of long gene cassettes in Pseudomonas spp., based on a traditional allelic exchange strategy.

Manipulation of genes, including knock-out or knock-in, replacement of gene elements (such as promoters), fusion with a fluorescent protein gene, and construction of gene reporter, is required in most of the biotechnological laboratories. The widely used gene manipulating methods based on two-step allelic exchange are cumbersome in terms of constructing plasmids, transforming and screening. In addition, the efficiency of using this method for long fragment knockout is low.
