Identifying and characterizing SCRaMbLEd synthetic yeast using ReSCuES

The use of synthetic chromosomes and the recombinase-based SCRaMbLE system could enable rapid strain evolution through massive chromosome rearrangements. Here the authors present ReSCuES, which uses auxotrophic markers to rapidly identify yeast with rearrangements for strain engineering.
