We've developed a method to site-specifically introduce chemical modifications *anywhere* on a plasmid 💪 We used this to generate light-activated plasmids 🔦🧬🧪🧫! Preprint led by Khoa Chung Oxford Chemistry UCL Chemistry SynBio CDT tinyurl.com/5fdevtjc

Thrilled to announce the publication of our newest paper 'An enzyme cascade enables production of therapeutic oligonucleotides in a single operation' in Science Magazine DOI: 10.1126/science.add5892 Congratulations to all the authors!

Since the discovery of CRISPR-Cas systems, people have wondered if a similar type of system exists in eukaryotes. Today, we report in nature the characterization of Fanzor, a eukaryotic RNA-guided system that can be reprogrammed for human genome editing. nature.com/articles/s4158…

We engineered new synthetic and biological parts for synthetic cells 💪 for controllable communication with living bacteria 😍 orthogonal to previous studies 😎 Published in Nature Chemical Biology Led by Jefferson Smith Dr Denis Hartmann UCL Chemistry @SynBioCDT tinyurl.com/bdd3y56m
