Let's talk about how close we are to a cell-free mirror image central dogma in a tube, aka Mirror-PURE! This topic has been getting a lot of attention due to the recent @ScienceMagazine letter (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…) outlining the threats posed by mirror life. 1/n

1. Check out our MS just out! Amazing Mauricio Aguilar developed a new ML pipeline that identifies ribosome pausing sites as an Anomaly Detection problem to overcome spurious signals that arise when analyzing RiboSeq data. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Interested in antibody generation and expression of human proteins in bacteria? If you're at @ProteinSociety tonight check out poster 75 at Bayshore Grand Ballroom D with @MuggleInSynbio to hear about expressing the human proteome in E. coli. @UOKnightCampus

Looks like it's time to explore a new era in genome engineering!
Patrick Hsu@pdhsu

Just shared at @KeystoneSymp a new @ArcInstitute discovery of the bridge RNA recombinase mechanism: a new class of natural RNA-guided systems that retains the key property of programmability from RNAi and CRISPR while enabling large-scale genome design beyond RNA and DNA cuts

Story time! Introducing the first of several new flavors of DropSynth #genesynthesis we have been working on, cooked up by @AlkynesOfSci and Sam Hinton. TLDR: We show multiple gene variants assembled per barcoded droplet and 1 kbp lengths. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Roughly half the world's population is infected with H. pylori, a leading cause of stomach cancer. A group of UO undergraduates are working on a probiotic they hope could be a gamechanger. The iGEM team is raising funds to take their project to Paris: brnw.ch/21wCypS
