1/1 "SpRYgest, takes the die out of digest" - Rachel Silverstein We recently repurposed our PAMless Cas9 enzyme SpRY for in vitro DNA digests (so-called “SpRYgests”), as a substitute to overcome the limitations of restriction enzymes . A 🧵: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…




Today in @bioRxiv, we describe Click Editors (CEs) which combine DNA-dependent DNA polymerases, HUH endonucleases and RNA-programmable nickases for versatile genome editing without double-strand breaks 🧬. A study co-led with Connor Tou. A 🧵 (1/14): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We’re excited to share our work developing a new gene editing approach that we’re calling #clickediting 🖱️✴️🧬. Click editors (CEs) utilize DNA-dependent polymerases to write bespoke edits into the genome. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… CGM at MGH MassGeneral News @MGH_RI Harvard Medical School
