New year, new lab photo! In 2019, we welcomed several new members: Natalia Cobian, Avery Roberts, MaryClaire Chamberlain, and Anna Garrell. We look forward to more exciting research in 2020 and hopefully more lab additions! Rodolphe Barrangou @CRISPRmatt Avery Roberts Anna Garrell

Neat spotlight from Rodolphe Barrangou and ErikSontheimerLab, and a pleasure working with BioRender

Excited to announce the maiden voyage of the Modell lab, led by the outstanding Rachael Workman and Teja Pammi. We found S. pyogenes Cas9 uses a natural single guide RNA, a conformation of the 171nt tracrRNA, to transcriptionally repress its own promoter. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

BREAKING NEWS: The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”

My first review with Rodolphe Barrangou on CRISPR-Cas systems and LAB! The #CRISPR field moves quickly, with fascinating finds on what seems like a daily basis. (Shoutout to BioRender for the fun figures)

Great job by Bas Teusink, @OscarKuipers1 ! Took us some time to finish this special issue, but awesome lineup of reviews ! Many thanks to all the authors and reviewers ! academic.oup.com/femsre/pages/l… All content is made free for the next three months. LAB symposium FEMS

My entry for the BioRender holiday card contest, ft. a cheerful Cas9 and rightly nervous (jumbo?) phage. #crispr #sciencegreetings

CRISPR 2022 conference was a blast, with lots of exciting new transposon biology! Fitting, to come just before #TransposonDay2022. We didn’t catch everyone for the pic but some key players ⁦Joseph E. Peters⁩ ⁦Liz Kellogg ❄️🔬⁩ ⁦Florian Hoffmann, PhD⁩ ⁦Mike Petassi⁩ …

Heading back to NC State University after a great week in Boston for my first conference #crispr2022. Excited for the next wave of CAST papers!

Super excited to share my first publication with @doudna_lab Nature Microbiology : RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas13 Provides Broad-spectrum Phage Immunity nature.com/articles/s4156… Now, with even more phage genome editing (and of course, CRISPR-Cas13) 1/

Latest paper from the lab showing how we can use CRISPR to manipulate the microbiome. @PNAS, pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…,

Our small discovery just got published 😇. Relatively few cyanobacterial genomes are home to most known families of CRISPR-Cas transposons (CAST). After a careful search, we found a new capture: type I-D CAST~ academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… Joseph E. Peters
