honored to have been part of this herculean effort from the rubin lab!! it was an amazing experience working and learning from so many talented people, and I'm incredibly excited for what's to come! ๐โโ๏ธ๐งฌ
I'm excited to share the 1st preprint from @therubinlab, co-led by @LeoCTSong and I. We performed RB-TnSeq to identify host genes important for CRISPR-associated transposon (CAST) integration. The screen was leveraged to improve CAST editing in bacteria.
