Our study "Individualized VDJ recombination predisposes the available Ig sequence space" is now published in Genome Research 🥳 genome.cshlp.org/content/ear… Congrats @rlyhighvariance et al.!
1/11 Did you ever wonder whether individuals have the same probability of generating a given antibody sequence? Turns out, they do not – not even twins! We showed that humans – including monozygotic twins – have unique VDJ recombination rules. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

1/Excited to share my first author publication where we create split-engineered base editors (seBEs). Here, we place base editors under the control of a small-molecule to regulate the timing of genome editing and decrease off-target effects. To achieve it: nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

There is an important message here for today’s students. Techniques don’t matter. Questions do. Listing a set of techniques is silly because they will all be out of date in 10 years. But questions drive science forward.

can you imagine having been awarded a highly competitive grant to carry out a project you've been dreaming of doing for 10 years on a major global pathogen that still kills hundreds of thousands every year. and then halfway through -- #UKRIcuts #ODAcuts #GCRF #gcrfcuts 1/n

If you’re having a hard time with glasses fogging or keeping your mask up over your nose, a simple bandaid does wonders. Learned it in the OR. Feel free to share, it may save lives!

This new mink COVID-19 mutation story, which is making the rounds on Twitter is highly problematic. There are elements of truth in it but the reporting is completely irresponsible. 1/ berlingske.dk/nyheder/englis…

1/10 … Very excited to finally share the preprint of our work on DNA replication in mouse & human meiosis … Big learning curve, lots of fun, and some cool discoveries along the way! doi.org/10.1101/2020.09.23.3…

Great to see human disease validation of our decade old discovery of CTNNBL1-mediated AID nuclear transport! @car_rada @silvoLab @DrAnitaChandra @feebs JCI - Disease-associated CTNNBL1 mutation impairs somatic hypermutation by decreasing nuclear AID jci.org/articles/view/131297…

Studies by Emily Law, Reuben Harris @HarrisLabUMN, Susan Ross @Susan_R_Ross and colleagues demonstrate that APOBEC3A catalyzes mutagenesis and promotes tumorigenesis in two different murine systems in vivo. bit.ly/3gOxzAH #GenomeStability #Solidtumors
I'm still in shock. Alekos was a real Scientist, with a passion for RNA editing and a curiosity for everything, bio and beyond. He was one of the most generous humans I know - with his time, his possessions, his mind. I wish I had said goodbye. Até sempre Alekos.

It is finally out! If you want to know how to combat chronic pain by locking cFOS out of the nucleus, be sure to check out our new study. Thanks to all that helped me to make this happen, foremost @MFainzilber, @nico_panayotis, @StefanieAlber, & @TerenzioL science.sciencemag.org/conte…

David's @davidmasp cool paper is out in @NatureGenet! We identified a pattern of #mutation clustering in cancer #genomes, distinct from the known 'mutation showers'⛈️ We think one cause of such 'mutation fog'🌫️is DNA repair + APOBEC3A activity read more nature.com/articles/s41588-0…
