Genome engineering with Cas9 and AAV repair templates generates frequent concatemeric insertions of viral vectorsCRISPR–Cas9 paired with adeno-associated virus serotype 6 (AAV6) is among the most efficient tools for producing targeted gene knockins. Here, we report that this system can lead to frequent concatemeric insertions of the viral vector genome at the target site that are difficult to detect.

Diet's Marginal Impact on Microbiome Development in InfancyA study finds that diet has only a marginal impact on microbiome development in infancy, but metabolite profiles differ between breast- and formula-fed infants. The circadian rhythm of the gut microbiome can be detected as early as 2 weeks after birth.

AI powered 'digital twin' models the infant microbiomeResearchers have developed a new generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool that models the infant microbiome. This 'digital twin' of the infant microbiome creates a virtual model that predicts the changing dynamics of microbial species in the gut, and how they change as the infant develops.
