Labs that work with dangerous pathogens have proliferated since the Covid pandemic — and a global consensus on how to keep them safe remains out of reach. Read The Big Take ⬇️ trib.al/x5iQ4EW

⚠️SCOOP—Dr Fauci admits key mistakes: 1) #COVID19 variants really bad—evades immunity, drugs, and vaccines 2) Asymptomatic transmission 3) Virus is airborne I recall rude people once mocked me about “fear-mongering” about “scariants”, on asymptomatic, on #COVIDisAirborne. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[1/2] For in vivo gene editing, studies in monkeys have been a regulatory "sine qua non" since the first trial. Question: What is the use of testing a gene editor built for the human genome - on a monkey genome? A timely issue to raise given this: statnews.com/pharmalot/2023…

Delivery of therapeutic molecules is a major bottleneck for treating a wide range of diseases. Today we describe a new modality for delivering proteins based on an engineered contractile injection system @nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

When the temperature drops, octopuses recode their RNA in thousands of places to alter the proteins made in their nerve cells. New Scientist Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Octopuses edit their own genetic code to adapt to colder water | New Scientist bit.ly/3NtER0k

Since the discovery of CRISPR-Cas systems, people have wondered if a similar type of system exists in eukaryotes. Today, we report in nature the characterization of Fanzor, a eukaryotic RNA-guided system that can be reprogrammed for human genome editing. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Viajé a Calakmul con Mina Morsán y encontramos un hotel del ejército en el medio de la Reserva de la Biosfera. Ha sido excluido de documentos oficiales y la UNESCO no ha sido informada de su existencia. Escribí este reportaje para Animal Político animalpolitico.com/politica/seden…

What if we could universally recombine, insert, delete, or invert any two pieces of DNA? In back-to-back nature papers, we report the discovery of bridge RNAs and 3 atomic structures of the first natural RNA-guided recombinase - a new mechanism for programmable genome design
