Happy Transposon Day 2021! On June 16 in 1902, Barbara McClintock was born, founder of the #transposon field and Nobel laureate. We, the editors of @MobDNAjournal, are curious to hear how she or her work influenced your career! #TransposonDay2021 mobilednajournal.biomedcentral.com/transposonday2…

The @kellogg_liz lab has posted its first pre-print! Here we continue our mechanistic studies of 'jumping genes' or transposases, in close collaboration with @JoePetersLab on CRISPR-associated transposases ( Type V-K CAST elements). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Incredibly proud of this structure and @shen_yao10 work. I could not have anticipated how much it would explain @j_ortega_McGill @JoePetersLab @McGillMed Structural basis for DNA targeting by the Tn7 transposon biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Tn7-CRISPR-Cas12K transposons categorize guide RNAs for different types of integration targets. Previously shown for type I-F3 systems. Grad student @PopoMicro shows an analogous process evolved with Cas12K systems. 1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
