After being part of the project for many years, I am beyond excited to share recent work lead by the fantastic Jerry Tianrun Li (李天润）. Using a combination of approaches, Jerry was able to engineer the flagellin receptor FLS2 to have expanded ligand perception. tinyurl.com/EngineerFLS2

Happy to share my first manuscript from my PhD! I’ve been fascinated by the functional diversity of FLS2 and how certain variants can recognize immune-evaded flg22 from important plant pathogens. In this work, we employed various approaches to engineer expanded flg22 perception.

Ah too bad that despite the interest in LoVis4u, Bioinformatics isn’t interested in sending our application note for review. I’m not up to date with journal options for short format bioinfo papers. Any suggestions?
