Infection of a strain lysogenic for bacteriophage P1 CM with P1::Tn5 followed by simultaneous selection for the chloroamphenicol resistance associated with the resident prophage and the kanamycin resistance associated with Tn5 results in a large number of independent Tn5 insertion mutations. This superinfection-selection protocol is a fast, easy, and safe way to isolate null mutations in enteric bacteria without generating unwanted cryptic mutations elsewhere in the genome.

Advanced genome engineering enables precise and customizable modifications of bacterial species, and toolsets that exhibit broad-host compatibility are particularly valued owing to their portability. Tn5 transposon vectors have been widely used to establish random integrations of desired DNA sequences into bacterial genomes. However, the iteration of the procedure remains challenging because of the limited availability and reusability of selection markers.

The efficiency of valuable metabolite production by engineered microorganisms underscores the importance of stable and controllable gene expression. While plasmid-based methods offer flexibility, integrating genes into host chromosomes can establish stability without selection pressure. However, achieving site-directed multicopy integration presents challenges, including site selection and stability.

Article Synopsis
- Non-coding variants found in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are linked to regulatory elements that affect transcription factors, indicating a potential role in disease.
- The study identified "footprint quantitative trait loci" (fpQTLs) from ATAC-seq data of human liver samples, helping to connect genotype with TF binding activity at specific variants.
- Findings suggest fpQTLs can enhance GWAS by accurately locating TF activity within broad trait-associated regions, aiding in identifying causal variants and understanding the functional impact of non-coding variants for disease treatment.
