Organization and expression of the mammalian mitochondrial genome go.nature.com/3MqLEV0 #Review by Oliver Rackham & Aleksandra Filipovska

My first research paper from my PhD is officially out now! Cas9 is now officially gone into hyperdrive with our newly designed TurboCas9. Oliver Rackham Aleksandra Filipovska nature.com/articles/s4146… #Cas9 #Synbio #

Ready to shred DNA with a hyperactive Cas9? We used artificial genetic circuits in yeast to test computationally designed Cas9 variants and found TurboCas9 that can introduce large and diverse indels in mammalian cells. Free to read Nature Communications: rdcu.be/cOFkX #CRISPR

Frankenstein Cas9! Here we review the latest developments in engineering Cas9 for improved gene editing portlandpress.com/biochemsoctran… #CRISPR #SynBio

Trick or Treat? Oliver Rackham explore Frankenstein Cas9 variants and the latest developments in engineering Cas9 for improved gene editing in a new #BiochemSocTrans mini review doi.org/10.1042/BST202…

Honoured to present my paper on improving CRISPR-Cas9 at the last @SbaPerth event of the year!!

Why are there so many tRNA genes in mammalian genomes? Knockout of the seven-membered phenylalanine tRNA gene family in mice using CRISPR reveals that multiple genes are required for both development and balanced translation. rdcu.be/dadEz #RNA #translation

“I am a part of all that I have met” – Ulysses; Alfred Tennyson CRISPR screening, volumetric EM and multi-omics reveal the highly connected nature of organelles. Defects in peroxisomes, Golgi and the ER converge on mitochondria via the lipidome. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Mutational rescue of the activity of high-fidelity Cas9 enzymes dlvr.it/T5NxQL

High-fidelity Cas9 variants that prevent off-target cleavage typically reduce on-target activity. Adding TurboCas9 mutations to these enzymes can improve activity while maintaining off-target fidelity. Cell Reports Methods cell.com/cell-reports-m…
