New preprint from the lab! We discovered transient fluidization in the basal region of human forebrains by tracking microdroplets in cerebral organoids.This “basal fluidization”, absent in gorilla and mouse, may contribute to surface expansion in humans 1/

In a new set of experiments, we screened a panel of rare and common variants from patients with Autism and identified variants in enhancers of OTX2 & Mir9-2 that reproducibly alter their activity in vivo! Huge congrats to @ewholling

How to test the functional impact of noncoding variants in vivo? Happy to share our work led by @ewholling where we developed dual-enSERT, a new method that enables rapid, quantitative comparison of human enhancer variant activities in live mice. Check this Tweetorial for details

Programmable RNA-guided DNA endonucleases are widespread in eukaryotes and their viruses
28 Sep 2023
We’ve always wondered if there was something beyond CRISPR for genome editing. We now report that animals, plants, fungi and viruses have troves of programmable nucleases capable of efficient gene editing in human cells
An update on our Fanzor work!
