Exciting new work from the @touchyourbrain, Soden, and Zweifel labs, deciphering the regulation of dopamine patterns by ion channels. Congrats to all authors on the awesome work!! science.org/doi/full/10.1126…

Temporal scaling of dopamine neuron firing and dopamine release by distinct ion channels shape...

Ion channels in midbrain dopamine neurons are critical for patterning action potential firing, dopamine release, and learning.

Our new work with @sokrypton @UWproteindesign core labs, DiMaio lab. We introduce AfCycDesign, where we adapt the #AlphaFold network for cyclic peptide structure prediction and design. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Cyclic peptide structure prediction and design using AlphaFold

Deep learning networks offer considerable opportunities for accurate structure prediction and design of biomolecules. While cyclic peptides have gained significant traction as a therapeutic modality,...

Excited to share our latest preprint from Cao Lab - PerturbSci-Kinetics, led by brilliant @xu_zxu! The technique captures single-cell transcriptome, nascent RNA, and sgRNA identity in pooled CRISPR screens, for identifying key regulators of RNA kinetics. tinyurl.com/2nyuz49a

I am excited to present this work led by Frederick Rehfeld (not on Twitter). We performed genome-wide CRISPR screens to identify host factors required for programmed ribosomal frameshifting by SARS-CoV-2. 1/4 cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

CRISPR screening reveals a dependency on ribosome recycling for efficient SARS-CoV-2 programmed...

Programmed ribosomal frameshifting is essential for SARS-CoV-2 replication. Through genome-wide CRISPR screening, Rehfeld et al. find a requirement for ribosome recycling factors in efficient...

Best thing I’ve heard, Nancy Pelosi states: “...we must listen to science, science, science. To those who say I’m praying for an answer, I say science is the answer to your prayers”. Amazing.

Remarkable RNA engineering: by randomizing and evolving an amino-acid sensing domain of #Tbox #riboswitch, the Suga Lab creates a new ribozyme that aminoacylates specific tRNAs, just like their protein brethren & sistren. Congrats Hiro, Satoshi, &Naohiro! nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

I support the current bailout - its needed For reference though, here is how the annual NIH budget (in red), meant to fund ALL of biomedical research, compares to the current $1T bailout proposal (in blue) Not only can we afford to invest more in science, we can't afford not to

Extremely excited to announce sci-Plex, described in a new paper out today science.sciencemag.org/conte…! Joint work with @JShendure lab, led by a crack team: @SRsrivatsan, @joselmcfaline, and @vram142. With sci-Plex, we can profile expression in single cells from thousands of samples.
