Excited that my collaboration with Sue Roberts is now published!! Our awesome student Cassandra used crispr to epigenetically modify Taxus plant cell lines! She focused on repressing phenylpropanoid biosynthesis to boost paclitaxel production. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Busy week for the Young Lab!! Our high quality sequence of the nonconventional yeast Ogataea polymorpha (Hansenula polymorpha) is now a genome announcement! doi.org/10.1128/MRA.00…

Happy to share our latest preprint on -omics driven onboarding of red yeast: Supported by the National Science Foundation and the DOE JGI CSP! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

For those at #SIMB2023, check out poster P14 - Emma is presenting her latest results on the NSF CAREER funded YoungLab red yeast engineering project!

Great week so far at CSHL Synthetic Biology! Students have completed intensive modules on crispr, txtl, modeling, and dna assembly. Looking forward to week 2! @CSHL #cshlsynbio23

Congratulations to recent PhD graduate Dr. Kevin Keating, whose work on part transfer just came out in ACS Synthetic Biology and is being featured on the Young Lab poster at #ME15 in Singapore this week! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Pleased to announce the latest application for our Prymetime yeast genome sequencing workflow is now public! Beginning to understand the genomic underpinning of probiotic yeasts with @ReetaPRao!! academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

Pleased to share our latest preprint! Systematic part transfer by extending a modular toolkit to diverse bacteria biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm happy to announce that I will be an instructor for the 2023 @cshlsynbio course! I'm also happy to share that my colleague Michelle O’Malley (UCSB) will be a guest speaker! Attendees can attend a small-group lecture and chat. Apply by April 1, 2023 tinyurl.com/32pz7c79

@jennbrophy7 @hsalis @unattermann @Geneticdesigner Great to see you as well!! Very impressive updates from everyone. Inspiring!

Had a great time at #SEED2022! Hot damn, people did some amazing science during the pandemic! Leaving impressed and excited about the future of syn bio 🧬 @hsalis @unattermann @Geneticdesigner @ericmyces

Check out my SynBYSS talk for updates on what we're doing in sequencing, yeast synthetic biology, and fungal highways! #SynBYSS youtube.com/watch?v=tPsZyY…

.@ericmyces and co show how whole genome sequencing can be used to analyse and identify #synbio engineered yeast in pure and mixed samples go.nature.com/2OolHN5

Very happy to announce the first preprint from my lab. Want to verify your yeast strain engineering with NGS? Now you can. Made possible by @IARPAnews and in collaboration with the BBN team at @RaytheonTech

With support from @IARPAnews & @Raytheon, #WPI chemical engineer @ericmyces is identifying genetic signatures for a biosecurity tool that will find engineered organisms in the wild. wpi.today/biosecuritytool #DNA #biotechnology

Interested in engineering environmental isolates of bacteria? Check out our new paper for a tool that may help!

@smashty Likewise!

@ericmyces It was really great seeing you!

So good to see Alper Lab alums and current members at #me12! It was a great conference - excellent talks, strong posters. Already looking forward to another reunion at me13!

Just got back from the beautiful English garden here in Munich! Come by Poster 90 today or tomorrow where I’ll be talking about iterative design-of-experiments for genetic design optimization! #metabolicengineering #ME12

Excited to be in Munich for #me12!
