Check out our new paper, out today in @NatureBiotech! We present SPEAR, a modular system for biomolecular cargo delivery with bacterial "nanosyringes". Thanks to my advisor, @zhangf, and amazing undergraduate (now graduate) student @vicy_ang nature.com/articles/s4158…

Can we use RNA to insert kilobases of DNA into the human genome, opening up a new way to engineer cells or treat disease? Excited to share our latest work turning a retrotransposon (a “jumping gene” with an RNA intermediate) from songbirds into a genome editing tool. 🧵 (1/7)

RNA-guided systems span kingdoms, from bacterial immunity to eukaryotic gene regulation. How did they evolve? We traced the origins of CRISPR-Cas13 and identified its likely ancestor: an RNA-based toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Here’s what we uncovered: cell.com/cell/fulltext/… 1/8

#CRISPR revolutionized medicine, but where did its RNA-guided mechanisms come from? Using #AI, we unearthed new Cas13s and found they evolved from toxin-antitoxins, revealing how nature created these amazing reprogrammable molecules. Discover the recipe: doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…

Today we report Evo, a generalist foundation model for biology, on the cover of @ScienceMagazine. Trained on billions of DNA nucleotides, Evo was designed to capture two key aspects of biology: the multi-modality of the central dogma and the multi-scale nature of evolution.
