Biology Department e-mails are always a wild ride. "Apologies for the spam, I urgently need some salmon sperm DNA, a hilariously specific antibody, and a few grams of cocaine. Can anyone help out? Cheers"

Now in pre-print: diagnostics based on type III CRISPR-Cas system that produces cOA upon RNA binding!

Spectacular findings by Jurre Steens, Yifan Zhu, Stijn Prinsen, Stan Brouns, John van der Oost, Raymond Staals and many others.

@vdlorenzo_CNB @ozlem__akkaya Muy interesante! I don't seem to be able to access the article, would you be so kind to send me a print at [email protected]? Thanks in advance!

Finally out in @NatureCatalysis: how we developed a new #CO2 fixing enzyme and interfaced it with natural and synthetic CO2 fixing pathways https://t.co/vvNy9XtQlL Enzyme engineering meets synthetic metabolism!

[Leah Smith @L_M_Smith]

Excited to finally share my PhD work @otago on CRISPR-Cas regulation, out in @NatureMicrobiol today! 🎉 See thread below for a summary of the findings from our new genome-wide screen!🦠 @SimonJacksonNZ @Lucia_M_Malone @ppgardne James Ussher @PeterFineran

Excited to finally share our publication on metabolic robustness of E. coli! In this study we applied #CRISPRi knockdowns in the E. coli metabolism and studied the response at the growth #metabolome and #proteome levels https://t.co/4lYXr6DK2H

@alexjmeeske @UW Many congrats, Alex!

[Bar-Even Lab @WeTheBarEvenLab]

Did you know that it is possible to recreate a carbon fixation pathway in a heterotrophic bug by recruiting only endogenous enzymes?

Check out this just-published great work of ours @AriSatanowski @BDronsella and @SteffenNLindner!

GED-IT-ON!

Very proud of @BCsorgo @LinaMLion and all of the great co-authors that made this story what it is. Check out the paper for our motivation/details, and stay tuned for what we will use it for!

Curious about new-to-industry microbial #chassis? Check out our #review on R. sphaeroides, 'maturing' into an industrial #cellfactory after decades of use as model lab strain. Note the importance here of improved DBTL cycles!

5 years after our first review on the exciting topic of codon bias and gene design we made another overview of this exciting field, a lot learned and even more to learn on how nature designs genes and how synthetic biologist could/should design genes... read more 👇

Ever struggled with protein production? This brand new article discusses the factors at play and new developments that could be of help.

Supongo que siempre hay un momento de click, en que algo nos despierta a la acción. Para mi ha sido esta foto y su titular, que me han provocado un rechazo visceral

Folks, if my bacterial colonies can reach out and check in on each other you can do it too

[Bar-Even Lab @WeTheBarEvenLab]

Our lab has faced the greatest loss imaginable. To us Arren was a mentor, a supervisor, a friend and the head of a family. We are shocked and speechless. Our thoughts are with everyone who got to know this unique genius. He will be sorely missed.

[Sorek Lab @SorekLab]

A family of bacterial enzymes produce antiviral molecules to fight phage! These enzymes form the origin of Viperin, an important human antiviral gene.

Very pleased to share the freshly published results of my MSc internship (among many other people's). My gratitude to the entire team and special thanks to @NicoC_MicSynBio and Arren Bar-Even; I had such an amazing time at the @MPIMP_Potsdam! The nostalgia is real!

[Nico Claassens @NicoC_MicSynBio]

Finally the final version is online https://t.co/7CB5hc00LK My last postdoc paper @MPIMP_Potsdam and the one I am most proud of: we replaced the Calvin cyle by a more efficient pathway towards formate-based sustainable bioproduction in a bacterium #synbio #metabolicengineering
