Modifying CRISPR-Cas9 proteins with ligands enables targeting of individual G-quadruplex and i-motif structures!
Great to see this work finally out - congratulations @DiAntonioLAB1 and team ❤️

First paper out from the Bidula Lab and a fantastic collaboration with @DrZoeWaller in @EmboMolMed
We identify G-quadruplexes as potential antifungal targets with new modes of action.

Happy to share our latest preprint describing the first genome-wide map of G4s in T.Brucei led by the amazing @LudovicaMonti. We found that G4s accumulate in coding regions of the parasite, causing transcriptional perturbation upon treatment with ligands.
