    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for increasing observed editing rates in the surviving bacteria cells. The compositions and methods presented herein in combination lead to a phenomenon of “edit or die.” Although less cells survive plating and editing, a large percentage of cells that do survive are multiple editors. In one experiment it was found that if a cell survives transformation, plating, and editing, 75% of the surviving cells are multiple editors; that is, 75% of the surviving cells were simultaneously edited with edits at two or more different locations within the bacterial genome

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods to increase the percentage of edited cells in a cell population when employing nucleic-acid guided editing, as well as automated multi-module instruments for performing these methods. Specifically, the disclosure relates to methods, compositions, modules and automated multi-module cell processing instruments that increase the efficiency of nucleic acid-guided editing in a cell population using a nucleic acid nuclease (i.e., an RNA-guided nuclease or “RGN”)/single-strand binding protein (“SSB”) fusion system. The system leverages a single-strand binding protein (SSP) and single-strand DNA annealing protein (“SSAP”) interactions to drive enhanced recruitment.
