Another INCREDIBLE DAY @DNALC this year's DNA Barcode Symposium. Hundreds of SS across LI, including Shelter Island, presented their original DNA projects & shared ideas! @NYSMTP @STANYSorg

[Kenneth Loi @kenjmloi]

Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR.

We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets.
