What if we could universally recombine, insert, delete, or invert any two pieces of DNA? In back-to-back nature papers, we report the discovery of bridge RNAs and 3 atomic structures of the first natural RNA-guided recombinase - a new mechanism for programmable genome design

Beautiful animation of metabolic flux in the mitochondrial Kreb (TCA) cycle The three "CO2" coming off the cycle is how you lose weight: carbon from your material body coming off as gas you end up breathing out By Janet Iwasa

Exciting collaborative review from lewsey lab's lab: 'Deciphering Seed Development and Germination in the Single-Cell Era' 🌱 Led by student Paul Schouveiler, this paper explores how single-cell technologies are advancing our understanding in seed development and germination.

My first, first author paper is now on bioRxiv! 🤩 Linker histone H1 is a liquid-like "glue" condensing chromatin, which revises textbooks! 📖✨ biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Huge thanks to my PI, Kazuhiro Maeshima, for supervision. Amazing collab with Rosana Collepardo’s group!" (1/n)

🌱 When a root cell undergoes symmetric division, are the resulting daughter cells identical? Using live-cell imaging and scRNA seq we discovered a new cell state with uneven BR activity. Trevor Nolan Nemanja Vukašinović Chewei Hsu Read our full paper in Cell doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…

The Molecule Behind Exercise’s Anti-Aging Effects *Today's letter (link in 6/6) reviews a new paper in Cell published 2 days ago. And includes a shoutout to someone special. 💪1/6) Nothing matches the health benefits of exercise. It’s the closest thing we have to a

How plants sense injury in their barrier tissue, periderm? Painstakingly detailed and amazing work by post doc Hiroyuki Iida shows that wounding is sensed by the diffusion of two gases: ethylene and oxygen. nature.com/articles/s4158…

I read this Cell paper that argues to have discovered a molecule (betaine) that mimics the geroprotective effects of exercise. This is a very valuable multi-omics resource, but the authors seemed to get caught in the rabbit hole of chasing a high-impact narrative🧵
