We are excited to share STOPCovid, an inexpensive, one-step, & sensitive #COVID-19 detection protocol developed with Omar Abudayyeh & Jonathan Gootenberg. This revamped assay was streamlined with the future goal of developing an in-home test for COVID-19. zlab.bio/s/COVID-19-det… 1/X

We've certainly been staying busy while working from home! We have a brand new paper out looking at #CRISPR-Cas systems in #Bifidobacteria Rodolphe Barrangou @CRISPRmatt @ClaudioCRISPR mdpi.com/713968

In preparation for #ShutDownSTEM tomorrow, 10 June, Science Magazine Science has made the following articles available without subscription or registration to help facilitate discussion.

Peter Harries of NC State Graduate School : "As an institution of higher education, we have a responsibility, not just to advance diversity and inclusion, but to fight injustice and racism." Today we take the day to educate ourselves and to identify actions we can take. #ShutDownSTEM

A company founded by NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences researcher Rodolphe Barrangou (Rodolphe Barrangou) and NC State College of Natural Resources researcher Jack Wang is working to revolutionize the #forestry industry through the power of #GenomeEditing. See what it means for the future: ncst.at/Q3Rz30qQEnQ #ThinkAndDo

We are happy to announce our first official Impact Factor -- 5.343 (courtesy Web of Science). Thank you to everyone who has published, reviewed, commentated, read and cited our papers over the past 2.5 years! It takes a community. Congrats to Rodolphe Barrangou and our superb EAB. 1/3

TreeCo, a company co-founded by NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences’s Rodolphe Barrangou (Rodolphe Barrangou) and our own Jack Wang, will use tree genetics and genome editing to make forestry into an industry that can meet the needs of society. ncst.at/ZS3D50AiSaM

New paper looking at S-layer associated proteins in L. acidophilus. Congrats @CourtneyEKlotz on the publication of your final PhD paper! bmcmicrobiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Great job to Echo Pan on her 3 minute flash talk for the Genetics and Genomics Initiative!

Thrilled to announce that the FDA has cleared Caribou’s first IND for a CRISPR #genome-edited off-the-shelf allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T #celltherapy candidate for patients with relapsed/refractory B cell non-Hodgkin #lymphoma. Read more here: bit.ly/2F0cbvr

T-minus two hours until "Human Nature" premieres! Discover the extraordinary new technology called CRISPR, which we can now use to edit DNA—including human DNA. But first, what is #CRISPR and how does it work? to.pbs.org/3hbBxTV

Congratulations!!! We shall henceforth redefine the field history as CRISPR BC (Before Charpentier, relatively few people cared about CRISPR) and genome editing AD (After Doudna, everybody cares about genome editing). Predictable, defensible, momentous! @doudna_lab The Nobel Prize

On this date in 2008, Marraffini and Sontheimer floated an idea: moving CRISPR into eukaryotes could enable RNA-guided gene targeting. Little did they know that 12 years later, thanks to many brilliant colleagues in our community, CRISPR’d patients would walk among us.

Excited to publish our collaborative work on 𝘓𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 bile salt hydrolases with the Theriot lab in PNAS! @TheRiotMicrobe pnas.org/content/118/6/…

#CRISPR x #ClimateChange. Register now: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Check out our new research featured on Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News. We established a CRISPR-based genome editing platform for Bifidobacterium, an important bacterial genus for human health. Paper coming out in PNAS soon!

Congratulations to our graduate student Echo Pan for using CRISPR to engineer the next generation of probiotics! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Check out our latest paper from the lab. Congrats to @CRISPRmatt, Avery Roberts and Claudio Hidalgo.

Take a look at our most recent publication from the lab. Congrats Avery Roberts!

Be sure to take a look at our latest use of CRISPR in forestry!
