If you’ve built DNA-barcoded antibody panels, you know the pain: every barcode means another conjugation. In our new preprint we introduce UnO, which transforms antibody conjugation problem into a universal barcode conversion workflow, enabling rapid panel generation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Universal oligo adapters for high-efficiency DNA-barcoded antibody panel generation

DNA-barcoded antibodies are central to a broad range of spatial and dissociative assays and applications, including multiplexed imaging, single-cell profiling, and proximity detection. Direct modifica...

🚨Excited to announce a new preprint from our lab, where we describe an ancient metabolic axis that controls mitochondrial genome copy number; a mechanism we uncovered in human cells that stretches through evolution to control mtDNA in flies, yeast and even plants!

PrEditR takes mass spectrometry–based phosphoproteomic data outputs (and other PTMs) and designs sgRNA sequences to introduce site-specific amino acid substitutions in endogenous genes for functional evaluation using CRISPR-mediated base editing. Try it and let us know what you think.

Wonderful and honoured to write a perspective with @prudentlab.bsky.social @mrc-mbu.bsky.social on such an intriguing and cool observation of beautiful mitochondrial biology! Amazing work on how pearling allows mitochondrial genome organisation by @jclandoni.bsky.social @sulianamanley.bsky.social!

Check out the fantastic perspective by @jellevda.bsky.social & @prudentlab.bsky.social on our #pearling work, out in the same @science.org issue! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New preprint on technologies to scale up CRISPR screens. We use them to map 665,856 pairwise genetic perturbations and outline a path to comprehensive interaction mapping in human cells. We also introduce an approach for cloning lentiviral libraries with billions of elements.

So awesome to have this great paper from Sam Reffsin and Sara Cherry out! In it, we use retrospective clone tracing to show that there are particular single cell states that are more susceptible to viral infection (both SARS-CoV-2 and flu)! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Single-cell susceptibility to viral infection is driven by variable cell states

Not all cells that can be infected by a virus become infected with that virus. Single-cell clone tracing reveals intrinsic cell states with variable expression patterns that increase susceptibility to...
