Introducing THOR, a Model Microbiome for Genetic Dissection of Community Behavior

Introducing THOR, a Model Microbiome for Genetic Dissection of Community Behavior

The manipulation and engineering of microbiomes could lead to improved human health, environmental sustainability, and agricultural productivity. However, microbiomes have proven difficult to alter in predictable ways, and their emergent properties are poorly understood. The history of biology has d...
