Maybe we shouldn't need a licence fee to cut a plasmid! hocheggerlab.github.io/DNAge… Everyday cloning work with .dna and GenBank. Tauri and CLI on one Rust engine. An AI agent can drive it via CLI and over MCP while you work in a GUI. Looking for testers @rust4bio

Excited to share our new @NatureComms paper! We developed C-604, a selective inhibitor of Greatwall kinase, and discovered that cancer cells' sensitivity to it depends on a simple ratio: B55α/Greatwall expression levels. #CellBiology #CancerResearch nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Our new paper has just been published!! We made a double-degron system combining AID2 and BromoTag to enhance the power of degron. Using this, we were able to strongly inhibit the initiation of DNA replication in human cells, ultimately inducing mitosis without DNA duplication.

Excited to reveal our new chemical-genetic system to inhibit PP2A-B56 phosphatase. We use this to characterise its substrates and roles during mitosis. This is a simple yet powerful approach to inhibit any enzyme/protein relying on SLiM-based interactions biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

The first paper from my research group is published! We engineer the first cell cycle reporters in primary human intestinal monolayers, design a collagen press for optimal imaging, and compile a computational pathway for image analysis. rdcu.be/dMwsA

Excited to share our work @JCellBiol! We find that chromosome size-dependent spindle forces impair mammalian mitotic error correction of long chromosomes. Congrats to graduate student @megan_chong who led this work! With Miquel @RosasSalvans @VannaTran5 rupress.org/jcb/article/223/…
