CRISPRs are associated with bacterial expansion in the human gut during the first year of life
2021-09-04
Abstract excerpt
The dynamics of the gut microbiome in infancy have a profound impact on health in adulthood, but the ecological mechanism underlying the dynamics between bacteria and bacteriophages remains poorly understood. CRISPR is a bacterial adaptive immune system to resist bacteriophages; however, the role they play in the dynamics in infants’ gut microbiota is unknown. In this work, using large-scale metagenomic sequencing...
