Bacteria replicate DNA at crazy speeds & accuracy. 💨
If DNA polymerase was a USPS truck, and each home was a single nucleotide:
This truck would deliver to every home in the U.S. in 65 hours. It would do this about 4 times without making a single mistake.
Very excited to share our new preprint where we use a deep learning-based feedback algorithm to control gene expression in real time in thousands of single E. coli cells in parallel. This work was led by @jblugagne and @cblassick. 1/
1.We are thrilled to share our newest preprint, reporting structural insight into the K+ selectivity in channelrhodopsins (ChRs), with @KarlDeisseroth@emeKato. Resolving this mystery has been a holy grail of optogenetics and opsin physiology!

Being a pluralist requires being at peace with the fact that there are groups in the world that operate under principles very alien and uncongenial to you, and that some of those groups even have some power.
@ZachWeiner Gold is incredibly inconvenient. It's difficult to use, particularly when transacting with untrusted parties. It doesn't support safe storage options like multisig. At this point, gold has less adoption than crypto, so crypto is the better bet.
