🧬Introducing a powerful, programmable new mechanism for genome design: DNA recombination with bridge RNAs.
As the first natural RNA-guided DNA recombinase, this system enables insertion, excision, or inversion of any two DNA sequences.
Out today in @Nature, led by Arc scientists @pdhsu, @mgdurrant, and @ntperry13 🧵

New #review on "Shaping Epithelial Lumina under Pressure" now published #BiochemSocTrans@PPPublishing! @mattbovyn and I review lumen formation mechanics and discuss the emerging role of nonlinear mechanics in the elongation of tubular lumina.

Naparistas, or anyone who does image analysis in Python — reminder — we want to hear from you! Please fill in our survey, which will close at the end of Feb 23 Anywhere on Earth! What do you *really* have better to do on Friday night, hmmm? 😂 Thank you!

Our first paper is out in @CellCellPress! Led by @born2raisecell, we present a programmable reaction-diffusion system that generates synthetic protein waves, oscillations, and patterns for spatiotemporal circuit design and FM data-encoding in human cells. https://t.co/lNRtRdJAxx
Glad to see our recent work on the control of apoptosis by cell geometry from:
@VKchoux & Balakireva M. et al.
https://t.co/kHmv2gD25Q
Now! featured on “the cover” of @CurrentBiology.
A big thanks to Teng X. & @Yusuke_Toyama
For their superb dispatch.

The course website for the spring EMBO DL4MIA course launched today and registration is therefore now open!!! https://t.co/COUK4eZdyE
The goal of the course is to familiarize life science researchers with state-of-the-art DL techniques for microscopy image analysis! 🧐 👍 🧑🎓
This is a microscopy image rendered on blender using the tif to blender add-on by @GrosOane.
Their yt tutorial is very well done, it's really easy to get amazing images.
📢We are recruiting! Please RT!
@FachinettiLab and I are looking for a #postdoc candidate to look into the mechanics of chromosomes during early mammalian development.
Come join us @institut_curie in the centre of @Paris !
We’re very excited to share our latest paper in @CurrentBiology! Check out @VKchoux’s & Maria Balakireva's work investigating how cell geometry regulates the spatial distribution of apoptotic cells in developing epithelia: 🧵 illustration: @baskaisim

Pros & Cons of Assembly Theory paper in @Nature TL;DR People are upset but not 100% justifiably IMO and some seems to stem from targeting one of the lead authors @leecronin while ignoring (surprise-a woman!) the other @Sara_Imari . Paper has merits but some claims are wrong 1/19
Come and visit us with your kids at the Fête de la Science, Atelier 8 for "En Quête de Bio" ( @sfbd_biodev) Oct 6, 7, 13, 14 @institut_curie there will be:
