Characterizing conjugative plasmids from an antibiotic-resistant dataset for use as broad-host delivery vectors
Human microbiome engineering is increasingly proposed as a way to modulate health outcomes. However, one of the current limitations to engineering microbial communities in situ is delivery of a genetic payload for introducing or modifying genes. Indeed, there is a need to identify novel broad-host d...
