We're excited to share our lab's first lead paper! We developed OriGen, a language model trained to generate plasmid origins of replication. 🔄🦠 The model generates sequences that are significantly different from wild type origins and, remarkably, they allow for replication in vivo. Read it here ⬇️

🚨 A probiotic that secretes a GLP-1–triggering peptide. By engineering E. coli Nissle to secrete a microbial peptide that stimulates host GLP-1 release, we uncovered a new connection between the microbiome, metabolism, and gut inflammation. 👉 science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Metagenomic editing of commensal bacteria in vivo using CRISPR-associated transposases
Although metagenomic sequencing has revealed a rich microbial biodiversity in the mammalian gut, methods to genetically alter specific species in the microbiome are highly limited. Here, we introduce ...
