1. A method for disrupting a gene of an organism without introducing downstream effects, comprising:

  • (a) providing a host cell of an organism, wherein the host cell is capable of homologous recombination;

    (b) identifying an open reading frame for a gene of the organism;

    (c) introducing into the host cell a targeting polynucleotide comprising (i) a molecular tag and (ii) flanking homology clamps for aligning the targeting polynucleotide in-frame with the open reading frame of the gene; and

    (d) selecting host cells having an in-frame disruption of the gene.
