We made it! 🚀 Our project "HAPPY" is a finalist for #HGP24! Our system for determining the age of yeast can replace animal testing and improve the efficiency of food and pharmaceutical production. 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘂𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄: https://t.co/PC9XPthIeD

Very happy to see the “optoscillator” - a synthetic optogenetic oscillator - published! By applying light pulses on growing E. coli colonies and analysing the ring patterns, we observed synchronisation, (subharmonic) resonance, period doubling and chaos!

Excited to share my first corresponding & co-first author paper with @clemens_bohm! We developed cell-free extracts from chloroplasts of various plant species for rapid prototyping, accelerating #plantSynBio in chloroplasts. 🌿 Check it out!

I am very happy to share our pre-print on the prototyping of a complex enzyme cascade (the CETCH cycle) using in vitro transcription-based (ROSALIND) biosensors. Thanks to everybody involved. We are looking forward to your feedback! @erblabs

@SendkerFL Congratulations for this beautiful story! I really liked the conclusion.

[Christoph Spahn @miCHRIScopy]

The labs of Christophe Zimmer @ImodLab and myself are looking for a technical assistant to join us full time at the @RVZ_Wuerzburg @Uni_WUE! Contact us if you want to help us decipher microbes and find antibiotics! More information can be found here: https://t.co/Ln9Vnm7Qoj

In future long-term space missions, could cell-free synthesis provide on-demand therapeutics such as phage therapies? We found enhanced assembly of phage T7 when we produced it in cell-free reactions under simulated microgravity https://t.co/lSprkCNP1h

@miCHRIScopy @RVZ_Wuerzburg @uniwue @ImodLab Awesome news, congrats Chris!

Join our next #RNA-Salon in our lovely Marburg! This time, we will focus on "Synthetic RNA Biology." 😍 We have an exciting lineup of speakers, including our keynote speaker @KGoepfrich 🥳! Registration is free! Please RT and join us on June 12th.

[Henrike Niederholtmeyer @HNiederho]

Excited to share our preprint on chloroplast cell-free systems from different plant species for rapid prototyping of regulatory parts for 🌿 #plantsynbio that came out of the @igemmarburg 2021 project https://t.co/Nt9f47hPlc

[Jonas Freudigmann @jonasfreudig]

So happy to see this preprint out! 💚
What started as a random idea between friends turned into a grand-prize winning iGEM project and now the manuscript is ready...
Thank you so much to the whole team behind this, for all the effort you still put into this after the iGEM season!

[Adam Silverman @adsilverman627]

Terrific study from the Styczynski lab, mandatory reading for anybody working in cell-free synbio!

[Emma Banks @EmmaJBanks]

My first paper from @JohnInnesCentre with @Tung_BK_Le is now out! 😃If you like bacteria and mobile genetic elements, consider reading our review on wonderfully weird #genetransferagents below👇https://t.co/dkb6mSfAvN

[Shanshan Luo @Shan2_Luo]

Excited to share our work @erblabs out today in @NatureCatalysis. A new synthetic CO2-fixation cycle, the THETA cycle, is designed, constructed in vitro, and modularly implemented in E. coli. Step by step, we are bringing synthetic CO2 fixation to life. https://t.co/wvdL24ZzYz
