Very excited to share our 1⃣st publication from the lab - the development of near PAMless CRISPR-Cas9 variants. Huge congrats to Russell Walton (🙌), Kathleen Christie, and Madelynn Whittaker for their tireless work. Brief thread 👇. #CRISPR #druggablegenome science.sciencemag.org/content/early/…

Deep deep thanks to Landry lab! Let’s keep in touch and continue exploring nanoscience in agriculture! I will definitely visit back and welcome to visit my lab!

The relative size of particles

Kary Mullis, born #OTD 1944, was tired and it was dark. His thoughts wandered as he was driving. He had to stop his car to think properly - all the puzzle pieces fell into place. Mullis had just invented the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), earning him the 1993 Chemistry Prize.

Thank you to landry lab Landry Lab and Yang lab Yang Group - UC Berkeley for this great collaboration! We have another nanomaterial capable to deliver cargos in plants!
