Very excited about this work from graduate student Laura Chacon Machado now published in Mobile DNA, “A family of Tn7-like transposons evolved to target CRISPR repeats”!

#CRISPR revolutionized medicine, but where did its RNA-guided mechanisms come from? Using #AI, we unearthed new Cas13s and found they evolved from toxin-antitoxins, revealing how nature created these amazing reprogrammable molecules. Discover the recipe: doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…

Transposons, or “jumping genes” – DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell researchers have discovered a new mechanism these genes use to survive and propagate in

Joseph E. Peters Very cool story lead by Joseph E. Peters reveals another level of how transposons battle with their hosts. Grateful to have had a chance to participate with Popo popo, Joe and the team!
