I’m happy to share our pre-print exploring the activity and specificity trade-offs in adenine base editors. Thanks to my amazing co-authors Luke Oltrogge, @hnisonoff.bsky.social, and all the other contributors @jlistgarten.bsky.social @savagecatsonly.bsky.social @innovativegenomics.bsky.social 🧵1/7

Activity and specificity trade-offs in adenine base editors
Adenine base editors (ABEs) are CRISPR effectors that introduce A-T to G-C transitions in the genome using a nucleotide deaminase fused to a Cas protein. ABEs have been evolved to have very high editi...

New from Ugrappa Nagalakshmi and Jorge Rodriguez 🌱✂️– Gene editing in plants just got a lot easier! Using engineered TnpB, they demonstrate high-efficiency, heritable, transgene-free editing in plants. (1/7)

Excited to finally share this work! We noticed a pair of genes - a nuclease and a protease - shuffles between antiviral systems. We show how proteolysis activates the nuclease, triggering defense in known and unknown immune contexts. tinyurl.com/2uwwy4ty

Recurrent acquisition of nuclease-protease pairs in antiviral immunity
Antiviral immune systems diversify by integrating new genes into existing pathways, creating new mechanisms of viral resistance. We identified genes encoding a predicted nuclease paired with a trypsin...
