Excited to share our latest work from @bioSavinov, a K99 fellow in the lab (and corresponding author!). Andrew worked w/ @SassSeabass (@keating_lab) to develop FragFold: a massively parallel computational approach to discover inhibitory protein fragments! Check out his thread:

What do the #epigenome and #Grogu have in common? Answer: the Force is strong in both of them.
In our latest review (in press) with @dpmelters @NCIYaminiDalal, we discuss how mechanical forces shape chromatin structure, leading to biological functions. osf.io/s2h9j/

Caspases control programmed cell death in eukaryotes. Type III-E CRISPR harbors caspase-like proteases. Our new Science paper explains how Craspase switches on protease activity in RNA-guided fashion - safe alternatives to Cas nucleases in therapeutics. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

IscB-ωRNA is as active as Cas9 in test tube, but only a fraction in size. Want to learn about their similarity and differences in high-res? What might be holding its activity back in human cells? Further miniaturization? Check out our new publication. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Awesome and thought-provoking work by Lydia et al!

Check out our, @GeneWeiLiLab @julianstanley_, new paper showing that a large fraction of RNA molecules in bacteria are fragments of canonical full-length mRNAs with consequences for differential RNA-seq analysis: doi.org/10.1093/nar/gk…

Pyroptosis is conserved between human and bacteria: caspase-activated gasdermins form pores and protect bacteria from phage
Fantastic collaboration with the Kranzusch lab, now out in @ScienceMagazine
Congrats @TanaWein & @algejohn !
