Phage-derived particles have been engineered to deliver a base editor for precise bacterial genetic modification in mouse gut, achieving >90% efficiency in a model E. coli strain, with edited bacteria remaining stable for at least 42 days.#NBThighlight https://t.co/VX86cG8Rjx
Glad to see this published! We looked at natural variation of immunogenic epitopes across 1,000s of bacteria. Experiments also revealed intrabacterial antagonism - a nonimmunogenic epitope blocks perception of immunogenic forms encoded in a single genome. https://t.co/PMuerbJcr4

The “ORBIT for E. coli” paper is out in Nucleic Acids Research! https://t.co/v4HvqMl3NB
**Perform genetics (e.g. deletions) without any PCR / cloning – just transform an oligo!**
The paper demonstrates benefits over λ Red & shows how oligos scale to high throughput libraries.
