Excited to share our last collab paper, now out in print Science Magazine!🎉 We reveal how dITP synthesis activates a SIR2 NADase effector to block phage infection! 🛡️🧬 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…










Our review on CRISPR-Associated Transposons and uses in genome editing is out now Trends in Genetics Right time after the seminal paper drive.google.com/file/d/1I-UbCR… by Sternberg Lab and David R. Liu labs in Science Magazine Have a look at our paper here 👇 authors.elsevier.com/a/1l7FNcQbJF91W



New pre-print(s) from the Sternberg Lab in collaboration with Leifu Chang! We uncover an unprecedented molecular mechanism of CRISPR-Cas12f-like proteins, which drive RNA-guided transcription independently of canonical promoter motifs. Full story here: tinyurl.com/mr3fd493


Latest BREX story from the lab - turns out there is a nuclease after all! Congrats to Jenny Readshaw and the whole team, including wonderful collabs Barry Stoddard, Brett Kaiser and Darren Smith. Nucleic Acids Res New England Biolabs Durham BioSciences academic.oup.com/nar/article/53…

So happy to share my work José R Penadés lab 🤩 We investigated the efficiency of HGT mechanisms in S. aureus🧬, finding that LT is the most efficient one, and that strains defective in immune systems🛡️act as gateways for inter-clonal complex HGT🔀 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Is anyone routinely using plasmidsaurus for lytic, tailed, dsDNA phage sequencing? How much DNA are you sending?
