In new work @arcinstitute.org, we report the discovery and engineering of the first programmable DNA recombinases capable of megabase-scale human genome rearrangement
Congrats! Useful tools!

ENVLPE, our system for VLP-based delivery of gene editors, is now published in @cellcellpress.bsky.social. We showed efficient delivery of base- and prime-editors in primary T cells & in vivo retinal models. All core constructs are available from @addgene.bsky.social.

I see; thank you for pointing it out. I read this cool paper this morning--using directed evolution on some key mutations to reduce the leakage background activity, and the final construct LATeNT has βΌ36% the activity of wild-type TeNT. Very impressive work! Love it.

Tetanus on demand! (not for bioweapons, but for neuroscience research)
Tetanus toxin induces paralysis by using a protease to cleave VAMP2, a protein required for synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release.
To harness this toxicity and use it as a beneficial tool for neuroscience,
Wow, cool! Another fantastic neuroscience tool. How to reduce the toxicity of LATeNT in the dark model, and will it cause injury once activated? or in an acceptable range to induce inhibition but not paradeath?
