CRISPR-Cas immune repertoires as an ecological record of bacterial interactions with mobile genetic elements in the human gut

2026-03-18

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria in the human gut influence host physiology and disease risk, but their ecology is strongly shaped by mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as phages and plasmids. Past interactions between bacteria and MGEs can be inferred from CRISPR-Cas cassettes, which contain short DNA fragments derived from invading elements. To lay the groundwork for research on the impact of such interactions on the human host, we ex...
