Real-time capture of horizontal gene transfers from gut microbiota by engineered CRISPR-Cas acquisition
2018-12-10
Abstract excerpt
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is central to the adaptation and evolution of bacteria. However, our knowledge about the flow of genetic material within complex microbiomes is lacking; most studies of HGT rely on bioinformatic analyses of genetic elements maintained on evolutionary timescales or experimental measurements of phenotypically trackable markers (e.g. antibiotic resistance). Consequently, our knowledge o...
