Harnessing eukaryotic retroelement proteins for transgene insertion into human safe-harbor loci - Collins Lab go.nature.com/3utPERu

Groundbreaking study by the Collins Lab demonstrating the use of R2 proteins from multiple species for genome editing!

Great thread from our bioinformatics expert, Connor!

News and views on our R2 PRINT story!

Hot off the presses!! How does R2 achieve its *exquisite* site specificity? Check out our new study led by former undergrad turned technician Rosa Lee, now a PhD student Stanford Medicine. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Beyond thrilled to present our O-MAP—now *published* Nature Methods (!!!) O-MAP is a powerful new method for biochemically "dissecting" the subcellular microenvironment around an RNA of interest, using off-the-shelf parts and standard manipulations. 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Vertebrate retrotransposons are the future of gene therapy. But how do they insert their genes? 🔥🔥 Thrilled to present part 2 of my postdoctoral work with The Nogales Lab Collins Lab UC Berkeley MCB where we investigate this using #CryoEM and transgene insertion in 🧪 and cells!
