Be sure to take a look at our latest use of CRISPR in forestry!

[Rodolphe Barrangou @CRISPRchef]

Bringing CRISPR to forestry... Check out our work with Jack Wang @FBG_NCSU: Multiplex CRISPR editing of wood for sustainable fiber production | Applications and Implications... https://t.co/M5Om1aob8N

Take a look at our most recent publication from the lab. Congrats @theCRISPRdrawer!

[Avery Roberts @theCRISPRdrawer]

Excited to share my first, first-author research article, with @CRISPRmatt @CRISPRchef, out now in @NAR_Open:

[The Barrangou Lab @CRISPRlab]

Check out our new research featured on @GENbio. We established a CRISPR-based genome editing platform for Bifidobacterium, an important bacterial genus for human health. Paper coming out in PNAS soon!

Excited to publish our collaborative work on 𝘓𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘴 bile salt hydrolases with the Theriot lab in PNAS! @TheRiotMicrobe https://t.co/iQGsbTb4DX

[Rodolphe Barrangou @CRISPRchef]

On this date in 2008, Marraffini and Sontheimer floated an idea: moving CRISPR into eukaryotes could enable RNA-guided gene targeting. Little did they know that 12 years later, thanks to many brilliant colleagues in our community, CRISPR’d patients would walk among us.

[Rodolphe Barrangou @CRISPRchef]

Congratulations!!! We shall henceforth redefine the field history as CRISPR BC (Before Charpentier, relatively few people cared about CRISPR) and genome editing AD (After Doudna, everybody cares about genome editing). Predictable, defensible, momentous! @doudna_lab @NobelPrize

[NOVA | PBS @novapbs]

T-minus two hours until "Human Nature" premieres! Discover the extraordinary new technology called CRISPR, which we can now use to edit DNA—including human DNA.

But first, what is #CRISPR and how does it work?

[Caribou Biosciences @CaribouBio]

Thrilled to announce that the @FDA has cleared Caribou’s first IND for a CRISPR #genome-edited off-the-shelf allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T #celltherapy candidate for patients with relapsed/refractory B cell non-Hodgkin #lymphoma. Read more here: https://t.co/H0lWjO1FyK

Great job to Echo Pan on her 3 minute flash talk for the Genetics and Genomics Initiative!

[The Barrangou Lab @CRISPRlab]

New paper looking at S-layer associated proteins in L. acidophilus. Congrats @CourtneyEKlotz on the publication of your final PhD paper! https://t.co/8TWRsgDWtG

[NC State College of Natural Resources @NCStateCNR]

TreeCo, a company co-founded by @NCStateCALS’s Rodolphe Barrangou (@CRISPRchef) and our own Jack Wang, will use tree genetics and genome editing to make forestry into an industry that can meet the needs of society. https://t.co/giXwb3pWni

[The CRISPR Journal @CRISPRjournal]

We are happy to announce our first official Impact Factor -- 5.343 (courtesy @webofscience).

Thank you to everyone who has published, reviewed, commentated, read and cited our papers over the past 2.5 years! It takes a community. Congrats to @CRISPRchef and our superb EAB. 1/3

[NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences @NCStateCALS]

A company founded by @NCStateCALS researcher Rodolphe Barrangou (@CRISPRchef) and @NCStateCNR researcher Jack Wang is working to revolutionize the #forestry industry through the power of #GenomeEditing. See what it means for the future: https://t.co/gMLZeAFju7 #ThinkAndDo

[Feng Zhang @zhangf]

We are excited to share STOPCovid, an inexpensive, one-step, & sensitive #COVID-19 detection protocol developed with @omarabudayyeh & @jgooten. This revamped assay was streamlined with the future goal of developing an in-home test for COVID-19. https://t.co/AhGrm6NYvz 1/X

Peter Harries of @ncsugradschool : "As an institution of higher education, we have a responsibility, not just to advance diversity and inclusion, but to fight injustice and racism." Today we take the day to educate ourselves and to identify actions we can take. #ShutDownSTEM

[The Barrangou Lab @CRISPRlab]

We've certainly been staying busy while working from home! We have a brand new paper out looking at #CRISPR-Cas systems in #Bifidobacteria
