Next round in "the many things that regulatory RNAs can do" - this time: controlling natural-product synthesis. Fantastic collaboration with the Bode lab (@HelgeBode_Lab) published today in @NatureMicrobiol nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

Luckily, despite severe jet lag, Helge’s given a clear, nice talk @SIMB_Microbio #NaturalProducts on NRPS engineering with a more efficient approach. Showing the advantages of artificial docking domains in splitting and reconstructing the megasynthetases
