What if we could universally recombine, insert, delete, or invert any two pieces of DNA?

In back-to-back @Nature papers, we report the discovery of bridge RNAs and 3 atomic structures of the first natural RNA-guided recombinase - a new mechanism for programmable genome design

Alright everybody, what will undoubtedly forever be the lab's strangest discovery is now out in Nature. It's a protein that evolved to self-assemble into a Sierpinski fractal. https://t.co/zV5CDzbaGm 1/n

I am really proud to share our study on microbes, Striga and sorghum is now online in Cell Reports! https://t.co/STOgy4iUqT and the press release is here: https://t.co/HD1osRYKdW This was an epic effort led by the incredible @dorota_kawa and many more + @HarroBouwmeest1

[Xiao Wang @WangXiaoLab]

Why can RNA only be linear or circular? It can be branched! We made multi-tailed mRNA, and we had fun! Here is our story led by brilliant graduate student @HongyuChenChem: https://t.co/IkMLUN0wX9 and his cartoon illustration👇@ChemistryMIT @broadinstitute

🎉check out our latest exciting collaborative study published @ScienceMagazine with Dudareva group (Purdue U with @ShabekLab @ucdavisbiology funded by @NSF): communication in plants relies on a KAI2-mediated signaling pathway https://t.co/BYayQIsbVS

Very pleased to share our work where we show: i) presence of spatial microbiota niches and metabolite accumulations along the root, ii) contribution of SWEETs to the spatial patterning, iii) interdependency among metabolites: Cell Host & Microbe https://t.co/egI1CxjbfG

While Ca2+ is an essential nutrient and signalling molecule, too much of it can be toxic inhibiting plant growth. An @nature study describes two signalling pathways that converge to regulate cytosolic Ca2+ homeostasis, balancing plant growth and immunity.

Fantastic new work on volatile-induced responses in Arabidopsis.

- Initial green leafy volatile (GLV) perception occurs in guard cells (rapid pGC1::GCaMP3 response)
- Ca2+ increase is specific to C6 aldehydes but not other GLVs/terpenes/MeJA)

We are thrilled to present a new #enzyme to the world, the first shown to break the man-made carbon-silicon bonds in #siloxanes, which are persistent in the environment.

Plant mRNAs, packaged and delivered to combat fungi. @hailingj1 & Co show that the model plant #Arabidopsis delivers mRNAs within extracellular vesicles into #fungal pathogen cells where they are translated and function to reduce infection https://t.co/hSlWZi4YIb

Extremely excited to share that our effort to identify and characterize Functionally and Evolutionarily Significant Novel (FESNov) gene families exclusive of uncultivated taxa is now published in @Nature

[Erik Bakkeren @ErikBakkeren]

Online @ScienceMagazine co-lead with @francesspragge1! We looked at why microbiome diversity protects against pathogens. It's down to a simple principle of collective nutrient overlap, which can predict protective communities against a given pathogen! https://t.co/L3fLBag4Od🧵👇

[Pieter Dorrestein @Pdorrestein1]

I am so excited that @em_gentry1 (@gentrylab) paper on reverse metabolomics to discover molecules is published, a project started in 2018. She found many new lipids and bile acids in humans. https://t.co/OcSxgEIBPt (online https://t.co/OFNSviRq6i) What is reverse metabolomics?

[Wangsheng Zhu @ZhuWangsheng]

The ACD6 work is out in @MolecularCell today. Have such a nice experience working with top scientists @PlantEvolution @ShengYang @ZhenMing. Congratulations to @Jun_bin_Chen @Lei_Li0601 @JonghumKim7 @beni and all co-authors. https://t.co/khIxkTELli

[Zhijie Yang @zhijie_zj]

Streptomyces is an excellent plant growth manager? Take a look at our recent work about Streptomyces alleviate abiotic stress in plant by producing pteridic acids. I am grateful for support from my supervisor @bcdingling, @tilmweber, and all collaborators. https://t.co/7uwJILYsaS
