Thrilled to share our latest work on TIGR system at @zhangf lab! A special thanks to @zhangf for his extraordinary leadership, support, and scientific vision, and to all co-authors. Intrigued about TIGR? Follow the thread!
We are excited to report the discovery of TIGRs, a widely-occurring RNA-guided system found in bacteria and their viruses. TIGRs consist of a peculiar repeat region which is transcribed into RNA and processed into multiple guide RNAs to direct TIGR-associated proteins to their DNA targets. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Congratulations to @thestrecker, Esra Dimircioglu, @_David_Li, @GuilhemFaure, and co on another tour de force study in @ScienceMagazine! Elegant biology & beautiful integration of diverse techniques. Still so much more to explore! See David’s tweets for details.
Excited to see our work in the ZLab @zhangf on the protease Csx29 out! Led by the amazing @thestrecker with beautiful structures driven by Esra Dimircioglu, we show that Csx29 complexed with CRISPR protein Cas7-11 (aka gRAMP) is an RNA-triggered protease. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

CRISPR technologies are powerful gene editing tools because they are programmable. We are excited to describe 3 new programmable systems, IscB, IsrB, and TnpB, some of the most abundant genes on the planet, with potential for gene editing. @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

CRISPR systems are quite diverse, including some, like CRISPR-Cas13, which target RNA. @soumya_kannan12 & @altaetran found tiny versions of Cas13b (Cas13bt) that can be used to create RNA editors small enough to fit into a single AAV for in vivo delivery. nature.com/articles/s41587-0…

Our preprint about SARS-CoV-2 genomic determinants of pathogenicity is live (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…). We identified key genomic features associated with the high fatality rates and the host switch from animals to humans in coronaviruses.
