The paper develops a high-throughput pipeline called VECTOR to evaluate and improve genetic engineering of undomesticated microbes using modular plasmid vectors and barcode-based screening.

This paper demonstrates an automated two-step PCR library preparation method using an acoustic liquid handler, reducing costs and time while maintaining sequencing quality.

This paper optimizes a culturomics protocol to isolate and identify hundreds of bacterial isolates from plant microbiomes using dilution-to-extinction culturing and a two-step barcoding PCR strategy with NGS and DADA2.
