This is a great paper from the @hsalis lab. - Measure the decay rates of 50,000 mRNAs in bacteria. - Use biophysical models ML to build models of mRNA stability. - Profit. And a good reminder of what's possible when one turns a biological problem into a sequencing problem!

The developed model quantifies the key interactions that collectively control mRNA stability in bacterial operons and predicts how changing mRNA sequence alters mRNA stability, which is important when studying and engineering bacterial genetic systems.

NEW PAPER led by @grace_vezeau! We rationally engineered synthetic riboswitches to carry out sense & respond for human biomarker proteins [mCRP and IL32-gamma] that indicate disease or infection. 16-fold activation without trial-and-error! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

See our recent work at the @hsalis #synbio lab. DNA sequence in --> transcription profile out. Validated on 17396 sig70 promoters. Use it to identify cryptic promoters in genetic systems or to forward engineering synthetic promoters. Work done by myself and @bioalgorithmist!

NEW PAPER: We uncover & quantify how the 5' UTR, intergenic, and 3' UTR regions control mRNA decay develop predictive biophysical models. Big šŸ‘šŸ™‡ to @DanielCetnar who characterized 82 operons using RT-qPCR to show clear cause-effect outcomes. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

What sequences & structures control mRNA stability in bacterial operons? Announcing a new @biorxivpreprint with lead @DanielCetnar that provides *clear* and *quantitative* sequence-structure-function relationships biophysical models that explain *why*

The @hsalis Lab at @Penn_State showed that simultaneous and stable coexpression of up to 28 single-guide RNAs can regulate 20 genes w #CRISPR interference! Potential for reprogramming cells in many #SynBio #EngBio applications. nature.com/articles/s41587-0… @NatureBiotech
