Our Woolly Mammoth team has achieved a global-first iPSC breakthrough! 🏆
iPSC cells represent a single cell source that can propagate indefinitely and elephant iPSCs (the most elusive iPSCs to date) are now obtainable!

Paul Nurse, who won a Nobel for his work on the cell cycle, calls for more daring theory in biology and criticizes current trends in large scale data generation. We probably need to reimagine the Discussion section of papers! nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

In work led by @StorkDevon & in collaboration between @fleshball & @geochurch, we report site-specific incorporation of a variety of non-standard amino acids in Bacillus subtilis for several purposes including interrogation of bacterial cytokinesis. Now out in @NatureComms (1/2)

With $15 million in private funding, a new company called Colossal is trying to edit elephant DNA to genetically resurrect the woolly mammoth, thousands of years after it went extinct. nyti.ms/3nuA6GU

The epsilon variant of #SARSCoV2, first detected California, carries three spike protein mutations that confer resistance to neutralizing antibodies generated by mRNA vaccines or by #SARSCoV2 infection, according to new research in Science. fcld.ly/2cej8vt

Biotechnology has so much promise but sometimes poses risks. Fortunately, we can use engineering to lower risks. In our latest paper largely from @geochurch's lab, we show that synthetic auxotrophy holds up over time. Life doesn't always find a way #synbio advances.sciencemag.org/cont…
Synthetic biology is an emerging field with promise for improving our ability to manufacture chemicals, develop therapeutic medicines such as biopharmaceuticals and vaccines, and enhance agricultural production, among other things.

We are excited to have our Low-N protein design paper out in Nature Methods today! Absolute delight working with @grigonomics @EthanAlley @kesvelt and @geochurch
A deep learning guided approach from @SurgeBiswas @geochurch enables protein engineering using only a small number — “low-N” — of functionally characterized variants of target proteins.
