I'm a little late to the party, but glad to share that our manuscript describing click editing has been published in Nature Biotechnology. An amazing team effort led by Joana Ferreira da Silva Connor Tou & others. CGM at MGH @MGH_RI Harvard Medical School #clickediting 🧬 nature.com/articles/s4158…

In a new Nature Biotechnology study, researchers from CGM at MGH and colleagues investigated programmable genome writing via click editing with DNA polymerases and HUH endonucleases. Read more: massgeneral.org/news/research-… Ben Kleinstiver Joana Ferreira da Silva Connor Tou


Really proud to see this work published -- a thrilling detective story I was lucky to be a part of. Big kudos to Stephen Tang and the entire team for an impressive collaborative effort. See Stephen's thread below to learn more... (and read the paper!). drive.google.com/file/d/1_paZuA…


Was fun to tune in online with a mini watch party yesterday to catch Joana Ferreira da Silva's presentation on updated & engineered #clickeditors at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory #CRISPR talk (on behalf of a large collaborative effort in the lab). Excellent talk, Jo! 🧬👏 CGM at MGH @MGH_RI MassGeneral News



Thrilled to see our work out in Nature Methods today! We applied prime editing to multiplexed dropout screens and benchmarked the tool’s ability to induce phenotypes when installing premature stop codons in essential genes.

I discuss the urgent crisis from the loss of federal support of science in the US and recent clinical gene editing breakthroughs with Walter Isaacson & Christiane Amanpour on Amanpour and Company, airing on PBS tonight at 11 pm ET, and on CNN International earlier today.
