For those interested in CRISPRi, we developed a simple computational pipeline to design sgRNAs for mismatch CRISPRi for any bacterial gene or genome of interest, generating a wide range of knockdown efficacies. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Back in Switzerland as Assistant Professor Université de Lausanne, Dept of Computational Biology, Uni Lausanne, NCCR Microbiomes. The piano went out of tune in two years. Pardon. But if you sip a glass of wine it's in tune again.

Giorgio Parisi has been awarded one half of the 2021 #NobelPrize in Physics “for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales.”

The Dal Co Lab ran its first successful microfluidic experiment at the Dept of Computational Biology, Uni Lausanne. This is happiness!

Can a song count as a new year resolution? Be Not Too Hard: dedicated to human kind by Joan Baez, approximated by me.

We have a newcomer in the lab! The plant pathogen #Xanthomonas campestris is settling just fine in our microfluidics chambers😁 Plenty of cool experiments to come Julien Luneau!

Yesterday I walked by the microscope and I found my postdoc Julien Luneau with a big smile...
