    Congratulations ! Really creative!

    In we describe how a CRISPR-based bacterial recording system (Record-seq) captures signatures of diet, disease, and microbial interactions within the intestine – helping us understand how diet, disease, and the microbiota shape health. 1/12

    Congratulations and team on a beautiful study utilizing genome-scale CRISPR activation screening to discover drivers for resistance to T-cell killing, with implications for immunotherapy for cancer.

    Excited to share the latest work from my PhD! We performed the first CRISPR activation screen to identify genes that drive solid tumor resistance to T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. A thread 1/X

    5/ IscB can be engineered to edit genomes in human cells. The small size of IscB (~30% the size of Cas9) makes it an ideal candidate for in vivo genome editing technologies.
