Our paper is out! Hiding in plain sight among Cas12a nucleases, Cas12a3 cleaves not its RNA target but the 3′ ends of tRNA. Huge thanks to all who made this possible, especially the Beisel lab, Biao & Dirk for the structure, & @sebastianglatt.bsky.social for all things tRNA. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

RNA-triggered Cas12a3 cleaves tRNA tails to execute bacterial immunity - Nature

Cas12a3 nucleases constitute a distinct clade of type V CRISPR–Cas bacterial immune systems that preferentially cleave the 3′ tails of tRNAs after recognition of target RNA to induce growth arres...

Good news on this 35th anniversary of the #Restoration of #Independence in #Lithuania! A new ERC project from a Lithuanian researcher can now go ahead, as they were able to secure alternative EU funding for her ERC Consolidator Grant. How did this happen? Find out in the thread 🧵👇

Excited to see our SIBR work out in Trends in Biotechnology :) doi.org/10.1016/j.ti... This is the first study I have coordinated from start to finish, and it brings me immense satisfaction to see it published. For a brilliant description of the tech check this: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
