Abstract
Genome recoding will provide a deeper understanding of genetics and transform biotechnology. We bypass the reliance of previous genome recoding methods on site-specific enzymes and demonstrate a rapid recombineering-based strategy for writing genomes by Stepwise Integration of Rolling Circle Amplified Segments (SIRCAS). We installed the largest number of codon substitutions in a single organism yet published, creating a strain of Salmonella typhimurium with 1557 leucine codon changes across 200 kb of the genome.
