Cas9-assisted biological containment of a genetically engineered human commensal bacterium and genetic elements

Abstract Sophisticated gene circuits built by synthetic biology can enable bacteria to sense their environment and respond predictably. Engineered biosensing bacteria outfitted with such circuits can potentially probe the human gut microbiome to prevent, diagnose, or treat disease. To provide robust...
