Just shared at Keystone Symposia a new @ArcInstitute discovery of the bridge RNA recombinase mechanism: a new class of natural RNA-guided systems that retains the key property of programmability from RNAi and CRISPR while enabling large-scale genome design beyond RNA and DNA cuts

🎉 We made a graphing tool for biological data. And it's free for academics! 📊🧬 Make publication-quality figures in under a minute. No more fiddling with Excel, Prism, ggplot, and PowerPoint. Here's using Sphinx Bio for graphing qPCR data.

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

Today in Nature Biotechnology, we describe first-gen click editors (CEs), which couple the advantageous properties of DNA-dependent DNA polymerases and HUH endonucleases with RNA-programmable nickases for precise and versatile human genome editing. 🧬 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thrilled to see our click editing paper out today in Nature Biotechnology! 🚀 Click Editors (CEs) are a new class of genome writers which combine DNA polymerases and HUH endonucleases with RNA-programmable nickases for precise edits without DNA DSBs🧬✨ nature.com/articles/s4158…

The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine focuses on the discovery of a vital regulatory mechanism used in cells to control gene activity. Genetic information flows from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA), via a process called transcription, and then on to the cellular machinery
