Complete genome sequence of Escherichia coli, isolated from laboratory mouse stool for use as chassis for transgene delivery to the murine microbiome. Transformable Mouse-native gut E. coli

Tools to explore functional change in the microbiome are limited. Here, we report the complete genome of a strain of Escherichia coli isolated from murine stool which has been shown to be capable of transformation and sustained re-colonization via simple gavage into mice with intact gut microbiomes.
