Surveying Complex Samples for 3 Synthetic Elements by Targeted Enrichment
Our ability to genetically engineer microorganisms is growing rapidly. We can perform small, precise modifications using techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9 to whole-virome synthesis and/or large genetic insertions. These advances reduces the threshold for synthetic biology to be employed maliciously. Preparations against pandemics or deliberate biological attacks currently rely on taxonomic identifica
