Today in @Nature we report a new prime editing strategy that can rescue a common cause of many genetic diseases in a disease-agnostic manner. This approach converts a redundant endogenous tRNA into an optimized suppressor tRNA, enabling a single prime edit to rescue premature…

Check out Diego's thread on our new MetaEdit approach to manipulate microbiomes, using CAST tech. A wonderful team effort led by @tehhoyen, together with @harriswangnyc and many others

1/n Metagenomics lets us read microbiomes in nature without cultivation, but writing (editing) them in their native context is still a major challenge. Meet MetaEdit: a platform for pathway-scale metagenomic editing inside the gut microbiome. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Glad to see our antibody design paper finally out in @Nature (and congrats to lead authors and everyone involved )! At @Xaira_Thera we are excited about pushing antibody design further to bind harder targets and make drugs for unmet medical needs. Paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our paper in Science is out! @Sour_Agrawal, @xiuhua_linwisc, @viveksusvirkar, and the rest of the team show human RPA is a telomerase processivity factor essential for telomere maintenance. This reshapes our thinking about telomerase regulation. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

1/ Excited to share our new study with @Brumbaugh_JB, now out in @NatureBiotech! P-bodies selectively sequester RNAs encoding cell fate regulators, often from the preceding developmental stage. Releasing these RNAs can drive changes in cell identity. 🧵nature.com/articles/s4158…

Been working on a really strange retron bacterial immune system, here's the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Type VI retrons are unlike any other. Phage infection triggers reverse transcription of a DNA fragment that activates translation of a toxin to kill the infected cell.
