Beyond thrilled to present our O-MAP—now *published* @naturemethods (!!!) O-MAP is a powerful new method for biochemically "dissecting" the subcellular microenvironment around an RNA of interest, using off-the-shelf parts and standard manipulations. 🧵 nature.com/articles/s41592-0…

Vertebrate retrotransposons are the future of gene therapy. But how do they insert their genes? 🔥🔥 Thrilled to present part 2 of my postdoctoral work with @NogalesLab @CollinsRNPLab @berkeleyMCB where we investigate this using #CryoEM and transgene insertion in 🧪 and cells!

Groundbreaking study by the @CollinsRNPLab demonstrating the use of R2 proteins from multiple species for genome editing!
Today starts a new era of genome engineering! We use RNA-only delivery to safely and efficiently deliver genes of interest to the human genome! @CollinsRNPLab @berkeleyMCB A thread 🧵: nature.com/articles/s41587-0…

Did you ever wondered how "jumping genes" actually jump? 2 papers now published in @Nature show the 3D structure of the enzyme responsible for human LINE-1 retrotransposon (links 👇). Congrats to the authors ! A @NatureNV to recap the many new insights nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
