1. A method for enriching edited cells during CRISPR editing comprising:
- transforming cells with one or more vectors comprising a promoter driving transcription of a coding sequence for a CRISPR nuclease, an inducible promoter driving transcription of a guide nucleic acid sequence covalently-linked to a DNA donor sequence and wherein each of the one or more vectors comprises a gene for a selectable marker;
diluting the transformed cells to a cell concentration to substantially singulate the transformed cells on a substrate;
growing the substantially singulated transformed cells on the substrate for at least 5 doublings;
initiating editing by inducing the inducible promoter driving transcription of the guide nucleic acid; and
growing the edited cells to form colonies of terminal size.
