Neural networks dream of electric Proteins 🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑 now with experimental validation 🥳 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Year end buzzer-beater preprint! We present a new readout method for DNA strand displacement reactions using Oxford Nanopore arrays: A nanopore interface for high bandwidth DNA computing biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

In Science Magazine we describe how a CRISPR-based bacterial recording system (Record-seq) captures signatures of diet, disease, and microbial interactions within the intestine – helping us understand how diet, disease, and the microbiota shape health. 1/12

Online @nature is DNA Typewriter, a molecular recorder that allows for time-resolved recording of sequential events go.nature.com/3apHjE5

I’m excited to introduce our Retro-Cascorder, out today in nature! This molecular device logs barcoded receipts of gene expression in a temporal genomic ledger. Sequence the ledger --> recover the history of gene expression. nature.com/articles/s4158…

"Voyage through Time" is my first artpiece using #stablediffusion and I am blown away with the possibilities... We're crossing a threshold where generative AI is no longer just about novel aesthetics, but evolving into an amazing tool to build powerful, human-centered narratives

Hear me out — my convo with Roya Amini-Naieni is an all-time fav. Instead of trying to solve ONE specific disease, she’s making genetic engineering easier for everyone with robot arms!

Check out our new review/opinion on molecular recording of transcriptional events by Sierra Lear. We write about where the field is, where it might be going, and what's stopping us from being there now. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We look towards a future of nanopore protein sequencing when single-molecule meets single-cell. scPeptide-barcoding, full-length protein reads, and “near-pore” processing…

*Preprint Alert* This one’s in a new area for the lab: phage editing! We're using retrons to produce recombineering donors ~inside~ bacterial hosts. A wild-type phage infects the host and an edited phage comes out. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
