EyaHOST, a modular genetic system for investigation of intercellular and tumor-host interactions in Drosophila melanogaster
Teles-Reis et al. present EyaHOST, a modular Drosophila system that enables clone generation in the eye disc with independent genetic manipulation of other tissues. EyaHOST uses an Eya-KD “kick-out” s...

All this and many more changes you can find in the published version here - in my (biased) opinion, it is worth a re-read even if you have seen the preprint! www.nature.com/articles/s41... And of course, all was only possible thanks to our great collaboration with @mizrahilab.bsky.social (4/4)

Spatial constraints drive amylosome-mediated resistant starch degradation by Ruminococcus bromii in the human colon - Nature Communications
Here, combining structural, proteomics and biochemical analyses, the authors elucidate how the keystone gut bacterium Ruminococcus bromii assembles a specialized enzyme complex, the amylosome, to effi...

Metagenomic editing of commensal bacteria in vivo using CRISPR-associated transposases
Although metagenomic sequencing has revealed a rich microbial biodiversity in the mammalian gut, methods to genetically alter specific species in the microbiome are highly limited. Here, we introduce ...
