Synthetic biology tools for sensing and evolving microbes: CRISPR-diagnostics and transposon-mediated genome re-wiring
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) have played a fundamental role in the evolution of complex organisms, driving innovation through competition, collaboration and co-option. Transposons, in particular, are an ancient family of MGEs whose diverse functions have provided a rich source of DNA-binding and n...
