Excited to share - EcORep! Now you can simply electroporate a PCR product into E. coli and let the linear DNA replicate orthogonally in the cell. EcORep can be used to evolve proteins rapidly and continuously! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Another exciting new tool to engineer biology from the Jason Chin Lab >>> Establishing a synthetic orthogonal replication system enables accelerated evolution in E. coli | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

BREAKING: CRISPR edited pig kidney transplanted into living patient. Scientists used CRISPR to make 69 changes to the pig kidney, removing harmful pig genes, adding human genes and making other edits to prevent the transmission of pig viruses. wbur.org/news/2024/03/2…

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… omg this is so good, it's a synthetic receptor bonanza!! congrats Alice Ting and team!! are they going to be on @addgene anytime soon? asking for a friend...🙏🙏🙏😀

Can an animal sense the world with neurons from another species ? See our brain chimera paper and the accompanying one by Jun Wu mentioned in last post

💡 A ‘crazy idea’ hatched by Jan Funke & colleagues during a walk in the woods & first tested by a high school student is now an innovative research tool used by scientists worldwide to predict neurotransmitters in fruit fly connectomes. 🧠 Read more 👇 janelia.org/news/high-scho…

📣Excited to announce #DL4MicEverywhere is out on Nature Methods! 💻🔬🤖 #DL4MicEverywhere eases reproducible deep learning workflow sharing, deployment and showcasing by providing a cross-platform compatible user-friendly interactive environment. (1/5) 👉nature.com/articles/s4159…

This little bump is the discovery of the Higgs Boson. I point this out to highlight that there is no "right" kind of evidence for a phenomenon in a vacuum. Here, strong theory is the basis for making a major discovery from a little bump most biologists see and ignore every day.

In our new paper, now published in nature, we report on the discovery and implementation of a chemical reservoir computer based on the prebiotic formose reaction. Congrats to Mathieu, Thijs, @quentin_duez , @robn_will and Wilhelm!🥳 Read the paper 👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…
