🚨 New #LoveVirology preprint: This paper has it all: single cells, COVID, CRISPR & Sunshine! We systematically characterize host factors of SARS-CoV-2 using Perturb-seq. Led by Sara Sunshine, bringing together Jonathan Weissman's Lab, Joe DeRisi's lab & many others doi.org/10.1101/2022.0… 1/

We are excited to share new work from our group at .UC Berkeley. We characterized hundreds of plant transcription factors, that modulate gene expression to enrich gene regulatory networks. See thread for a summary. #transcription #plantsynbio #systemsbio tinyurl.com/z3nfm8x5

A great resource for CRISPR guide design!

Delighted to post our lab's manuscript! Awesome work by clarajanae (she/her) and Dawei Dai with help from Grey Monroe

Delighted to share our review on lineage-tracing technologies in cancer biology, now available in Annual Reviews of Cancer Biology! We cover exciting new technologies and applications, and offer a perspective on what's next. We hope you find it useful: shorturl.at/sDEJ8

I am thrilled to announce that my Lab is moving to the MCB department at UC Berkeley, where I will be an Assistant Professor in Residence and an Investigator for the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub. We have move to fabulous space in Koshland Hall. 1/2

Fantastic day on Lake Tahoe with the Ohainle Lab and the Nuñez Lab at a UC Berkeley MCB retreat Thanks for joining us Nuñez Lab!

Excited to share that our team's development of the CRISPR-DREAM platform, led by the innovative Barun Mahata, has been published in Nature Methods today! These new CRISPRa systems permit robust, versatile, and well-tolerated engineered gene activation across diverse human cells!

The HuSH complex silences retrotransposons in vertebrates. Our latest manuscript introduces HuSH2 and delves into the fascinating interplay of two paralogous HuSH complexes in governing LINE-1 silencing. Credits to Zena Jensvold and Anna Christenson. doi.org/10.1101/2023.1….

Hello, all!  Do you know Python?  Do you have 10 minutes to help us learn about programmers by participating in an online user study?  No scheduling required, just a quick programming activity at this link!  plait-lab.org/programming-in…

It was a pleasure to host the #HannaGrayFellows at HHMI this week! The retreat was filled with insightful discussions, professional development, and meaningful connections. We look forward to more inspiring collaborations in the future! ✨

Beyond proud of Izaiah Ornelas for being named a Gilliam Fellow HHMI !! Congrats to all the new fellows 🎉

The Cox Lab is looking for 1-2 postdocs to join us! If you have an interest/expertise in single-cell/spatial transcriptomics, imaging, and/or plant-microbe interactions, I encourage you to apply! wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

MCB is excited to welcome Ahmad N as our newest MCB faculty member starting on 1/1/25! mcb.berkeley.edu/news-and-event…

Excited to share a new preprint! (1)🔬The nucleolus is the most prominent nuclear condensate, with a fascinating multilayered liquid-like structure, and is the site of ribosome biogenesis. But how does this multiphase architecture form and function? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join us at UC Berkeley MCB! Our faculty search is super broad and I can't speak highly enough about the colleagues and trainees in our department. The deadline is fast approaching, October 31. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Did you know that bacteria remember their past for many generations? In this new preprint from us (Alexis Villani and Senen Mendoza) and Banin lab (Esther Shmidov ), we reveal the "how?" and "why?" underlying a long-standing mystery in bacterial memory. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Love this paper! Congrats Josh Tycko et al.
