Are you tired of slow gene editing and scattershot targeting? Well no more, here we introduce HyperDriveCas9. An engineered Cas9 variant that is both hyperactive and hyper accurate. doi.org/10.1016/j.crme…

High-fidelity Cas9 variants that prevent off-target cleavage typically reduce on-target activity. Adding TurboCas9 mutations to these enzymes can improve activity while maintaining off-target fidelity. Cell Reports Methods cell.com/cell-reports-m…

Update! We outline AIVE, an AI method for volume EM data. We show the benefits of AIVE for reconstructing your FIB-SEM data, reveal some fascinating cell biology, and define intrusions as a new form of mitochondrial contact. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Muscle mito nanotunnels 1/3🧵
