Group leader James Marsh and Ph.D student Christian Kirk this week saw the publication of their review in Annual Review of Microbiology: Toward Microbiome Engineering: Expanding the Repertoire of Genetically Tractable Members of the Human Gut Microbiome! Microbiome engineering is currently a hot topic in the microbiome field and in this review, Marsh & Kirk discuss the ongoing barriers for applying traditional genetic manipulation techniques to the gut microbiome and articulate a vision for achieving community-wide engineering. Congratulations James and Christian!
