Happy to share our lab's first manuscript, describing a drug repurposing screen against HSV-1. We identified decitabine as a potent inhibitor in vitro, and showed it dramatically increases the mutation rate of HSV-1, likely leading to lethal mutagenesis journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

OK, a stupid question, but I can't find a straight answer anywhere. When using lentivirus for gRNA delivery into Cas9 expressing cells - how long do you need to wait before assaying for indels?? We tried at 3 days post transduction and got nothing. Is it just to early?

Here is our answer (to those who have been following) - 3 days post gRNA lenti transduction we can just barely detect editing, but at 6 days it is >80% edited. Yay :)

Gilead plans to have their new HIV PrEP (lenacapivir) that is only taken twice a year rolled out in South Africa and other hot spots of the HIV pandemic at a cheap and affordable price (30-40$ annually)! In theory, this means the end of HIV transmissions is in sight 🙏
