In back to back preprints from @arcinstitute, the labs of @LukeGilbertSF and @pdhsu present two distinct platforms (COMET and COMBINE) for systematically exploring combinations of protein domains, each of which yielded a diverse range of CRISPR-guided transcriptional effectors with features unique from CRISPRa/i. Both the platforms and the domain combinations have the potential to expand the toolbox for control of transcription and chromatin states and provide frameworks for screening combinatorial domains in other contexts.

How do past viral infections influence future viral diseases? We found that SARS-CoV-2 recovery protected from severe influenza A virus disease. But how come? There seemed to be some antigen-independent immunological memory going on..

Excited to share our latest preprint. Lead by Sevi (@biosevi) we asked how transcription factors (TFs) with short and abundant motifs drive specific cell fates. Our test cases: Two bHLH factors that bind to seemingly similar E-boxes. 1/7 https://t.co/WPNx5LrIUJ
I am so happy to share our story on supercharging kinase degradation, now live on biorxiv! Thanks to everyone involved in this project. Check out the 🧵👇

Thank you very much to the Austrian Life Science Association ÖGMBT. It is a great honor to receive this award and wouldn't have been possible without the whole @georg_e_winter lab and our collaborators @alessiociulli@fischerlab1
Congratulations to former CeMM PhD student @AlexanderHanzl & current postdoc Matthias Hinterndorfer (@_matthias_h), both from @georg_e_winter's group at #CeMM, for being awarded the prestigious ÖGMBT Life Science PhD Award Austria 2023! 🏆🎉
Today in @bioRxiv, we describe Click Editors (CEs) which combine DNA-dependent DNA polymerases, HUH endonucleases and RNA-programmable nickases for versatile genome editing without double-strand breaks 🧬. A study co-led with @connorjtou. A 🧵 (1/14):

Delighted to share our spotlight on a beautiful paper by @alessiociulli and @georg_e_winter. Alex Hanzl and colleagues combined structural and biochemical techniques with deep mutational scanning to identify residues crucial for degrader activity. https://t.co/eZPbsILScR
Our paper on 14-3-3 proteins and their role in protein aggregation and phase separation is out! This paper represents the main PhD thesis work by my student Dmitri Segal. 1/ https://t.co/oCGBmHdrKS
Thrilled for our Orpinolide story to see the light of day! Huge thanks to the @georg_e_winter lab, Waldmann lab, @laraialab and everyone that contributed @HanaImrichova, @FabianFrommelt, @Laura_dta, Andrea, @CKagiou, Thomas, @CrisMayorRuiz, @gsf_lab and Sonja Sievers!
