Could the folding of synthetic gene circuits in 3D shape how genes are expressed? Today @ScienceMagazine we report on the role of gene syntax in shaping feedback between transcriptional activity and genome folding for advanced circuit design🧵 (1/n)

Cells mitigate damage to DNA in surprising ways. Using a series of CRISPRi chemogenomics screens, we identified a PRDX1-dependent iron–damage axis in the DNA damage response.
Congratulations to Tom, Abe, Shaheen, Josep and all co-authors!

Excited our ratiometric transcriptional activation (RTA) work led by @Melissa_Gray234 is out online today @CellCellPress! Measurements determine what we can discover in biology; we use RTA to turn protein abundance changes into amplified signals.

Excited to share our new preprint!
We asked how inducible SynNotch-CAR circuits can better discriminate on-target from off-target cells when they share similar antigens.

When training protein language models, people usually discard metagenomic proteins that don't cluster with at least 1 other protein (singletons).
With @riavinod_ @Samir_char @avapamini @lorin_crawford , we show that this is probably not the right strategy.
