We just preprinted DropSynth-Gold where we replaced PCA with Golden Gate Assembly (GGA) inside emulsion droplets, extending multiplexed gene synthesis to ~3 kb constructs assembled from up to 12 fragments while preserving the scalability of DropSynth. 1/n

New lab preprint: if ML struggles with extrapolation, let's expand the diversity of training data with gene synth, DNA shuffling, and ML gen.... also lots of #FluorescentProteins #ProteinEngineering #MachineLearning #SyntheticBiology 1/n

Need long-read sequencing? We’ve just completed the first ever run on @uoregon GC3F core’s new @PacBio Revio instrument! Perfect for amplicons too long for Illumina, and with Kinnex prep, you can get >10x more data. Great pricing, no queue, try it out. gc3f.uoregon.edu/pacbio-sequ…

Interested in antibody generation and expression of human proteins in bacteria? If you're at @ProteinSociety tonight check out poster 75 at Bayshore Grand Ballroom D with @MuggleInSynbio to hear about expressing the human proteome in E. coli. @UOKnightCampus

Powerful 1st-person piece by Knight Campus Dept of Bioengineering Asst Prof Parisa Hosseinzadeh on her long road to recovery following a brain hemorrhage in Nov. 2022. We are so inspired by your strength & determination Parisa and are happy to see you growing stronger every day
A brain haemorrhage late in pregnancy upended Parisa Hosseinzadeh’s life — and her tenure clock.
Thanks to supportive physicians, family and colleagues, she’s restarting her academic career. go.nature.com/3LCnFUl

Christmas came early in @PlesaLab with the latest Degenerate DropSynth preprint and the fun was doubled up by lovely Secret Santas in the lab and the Impact & Innovation Award in the annual celebration at @UOKnightCampus 🎉🎁
Signing off 2023 slowly with style 😎

Story time! Introducing the first of several new flavors of DropSynth #genesynthesis we have been working on, cooked up by @AlkynesOfSci and Sam Hinton. TLDR: We show multiple gene variants assembled per barcoded droplet and 1 kbp lengths. 1/n

Roughly half the world's population is infected with H. pylori, a leading cause of stomach cancer. A group of UO undergraduates are working on a probiotic they hope could be a gamechanger. The iGEM team is raising funds to take their project to Paris: brnw.ch/21wCypS

When you hit the desk on a weekend to spot an art by the #LOTR geek, and instantly know it’s none other than your PI ! @PlesaLab
How many of you have items named in the lab?
