What a challenging question answered in the most elegant way! WOW! Congrats @Davidlarastiaso and the whole team, mind blowing work!

[David Lara-Astiaso @Davidlarastiaso]

Thrilled to share my work on @NatureGenet. It's not just TFs! A lineage dependency map for chromatin factors in hematopoiesis. Great mentorship by Brian Huntly and awesome collaboration with @Nik_Fortelny. With @Julenmend, @NishaNarayan15 @wildtypehuman.

Three of the more costly and frequently used reagents in molecular biology are rolling circle amplification (RCA) mix, chemically competent MachOne (or other E. coli) cells, and Gibson assembly mix. Postdoc Julian Willis—who is starting his own lab in the UK soon—developed homemade recipes for each that reduce costs ~3x (or more at large-scale). Links to each recipe:
