New preprint out 🌱
We present a new T-DNA vector system for Arabidopsis that supports clean, genomically mapped, single-copy T-DNA insertion with predictable cell-type/conditional gene expression.

Beyond Arabidopsis, we believe this work establishes an important, outcome-focused framework for the rational, host-optimised design of next-generation T-DNA vectors, providing a foundation for more predictable and efficient plant transformation across diverse species.

The paper has many more insights that I hope will help make plant transformation easier and more predictable.

And we’ll make the plasmids available through Addgene as ASAP!
Huge thanks to everyone involved in @MoKhalilLab and Mary Gehring labs!!

Come and join us at a free complementary Japan-UK Engineering Biology meeting after the main ESSL conference (essl2025.org/). A few spaces left to some see some of the up and coming superstars of #synbio in the UK!

Genome engineering excelled at small nucleotide changes, but large edits remained challenging. Recent innovations are changing this.
We reviewed the field of structural variant engineering @NatureGenet 🧬
