CRISPR continues to amaze me! Excited to share the last project from my PhD, co-led by the incredible @PujaMajumder91 and myself! We studied the CRISPR effector Cat1, which forms beautiful filament networks to degrade NAD+. Out today in @ScienceMagazine!

Researchers have already created mirror-image amino acids and other biomolecules, but some see enormous risks in extending that work to create mirror-image organisms. https://t.co/3KIfVDyqPM

🧬 Vilcek Prizewinner Luciano Marraffini and his team at the @MarraffiniLab w/@RockefellerUniv have published a new study in @CellCellPress. The study highlights how #CRISPR systems may act as molecular fumigants to prevent infection.⁣ https://t.co/C4tPvLxc25

CRISPR has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, but a new study from the @MarraffiniLab finds that CRISPR-Cas10 employs an additional strategy to protect against viruses: a molecular fumigator. #RockefellerScience

Absolutely thrilled to share our new study, co-led by @PujaMajumder91 and myself, now online in @CellCellPress! Here, we characterize a CRISPR-associated adenosine deaminase, Cad1. Incredibly grateful for @MarraffiniLab making it possible. Synopsis below:
