Prime editor with rational design and AI-driven optimization for reverse editing window and enhanced fidelity - Nature Communications
Expanding editing scope while reducing byproducts is now possible for prime editing. Here, authors develop reverse prime editing (rPE), a SpCas9-based tool enabling editing in reverse window with high...

Quite a lot of science today, let's dive right in

It's a sunny friday in London on the eve of a three day weekend. Let's have some science

The sun is out in London, I've got a new episode of The Wheel of Time to watch tonight, and you know what I think I might treat myself to a pizza. This is the Way (of having a good Friday). But first, Friday science time!

Excited to share this @nature.com interview about the current state of synthetic genomics. Our work on the 57-codon E.coli genome shows that while biological complexity continues to surprise us, advanced omics & massively parallel assays now enable genome engineering & design at unprecedented scale

20 days into Duolingo's Japanese course and the only way it recognizes what I say is for me to speak slowly and dramatically like I'm the villain in an anime.

Yang et al. show how active learning plus directed evolution boosts enzyme performance, capturing epistatic effects and avoiding local maxima to deliver higher yields and selectivity than traditional approaches. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Active learning-assisted directed evolution - Nature Communications
Directed evolution is a powerful method to optimize protein fitness. Here, authors develop an active learning workflow using machine learning to more efficiently explore the design space of proteins.

So what cool synbio has been published in @naturecomms.bsky.social in the last week? Let's have a look!(oh lookie, the journal is now on BlueSky!)

Welcome (a bit belatedly) to 2025! Let's see what synbio has been published at Nature Comms so far this year

Hello from Ghent, where I will be attending Next-Generation Synthetic Biology this week. Looking forward to some great science (and some Belgian delicacies as well)

Time for a Friday Roundup! (i've missed these 😀) This week I've been Watching: Arcane - League of Legends Reading - A City on Mars (by Kelly Weinersmith and Zach Weinersmith) Listening: From Zero (Linkin Park) Plus I have some science for y'all

Gonna grab a cup of green tea and follow all the live updates from #SBUK24. This definitely feels like the old days of Twitter and I'm loving it.

The new Linkin Park album is very much powering my day today

Let's get this started with some recent #synbio papers. Starting off with one I was the editor for: Control of spatio-temporal patterning via cell growth in a multicellular synthetic gene circuit www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Control of spatio-temporal patterning via cell growth in a multicellular synthetic gene circuit - Nature Communications
A major goal in synthetic development is to build gene regulatory circuits that control patterning. Here the authors discover that elevated cell density dampens SynNotch signaling, enabling the design...
