The complex interplay of diet, xenobiotics, and microbial metabolism in the gut: Implications for clinical outcomes

by Igen BioLab Group | Oct 1, 2020 | Publications

From digestion to pathogen resistance and immune system development, the gut microbiota and its collection of microbial genes are redefining what it means to be human. Despite tremendous advances in this field, there is still a limited understanding of how microbial...

Rat study shows gut microbes play a role in colon cancer susceptibility

by Igen BioLab Group | Aug 19, 2020 | Publications

The microscopic organisms that live in our gut do more than help us digest food. A new study in rats bolsters a growing body of evidence that the complex mix of microorganisms found in the gut, known as gut microbiota, could influence a person’s likelihood of...

Genome and sequence determinants governing the expression of horizontally acquired DNA in bacteria

by Igen BioLab Group | Jun 15, 2020 | Publications

While horizontal gene transfer is prevalent across the biosphere, the regulatory features that enable expression and functionalization of foreign DNA remain poorly understood. Here, we combine high-throughput promoter activity measurements and large-scale genomic...
