We present a method for identifying genomic modifications that optimize a complex phenotype through multiplex genome engineering and predictive modeling. We apply our method to identify six single nucleotide mutations that recover 59% of the fitness defect exhibited by the 63-codon E. coli strain C321.∆A. By introducing targeted combinations of changes in multiplex we generate rich genotypic and phenotypic diversity and characterize clones using whole-genome sequencing and doubling time measurem ...[more]
