UCLA Professor and HHMI Investigator interested in plant epigenetics and plant genome editing.
Our paper is just out www.nature.com/articles/s41... from the Jacobsen, Doudna, and Banfield labs on viral delivery of a tiny CRISPR system for transgene free germline editing in plants, tinyurl.com/3k223r3x. Looking for postdocs to join the team for the next phase of this work!
Viral delivery of an RNA-guided genome editor for transgene-free germline editing in Arabidopsis - Nature Plants
Weiss et al. engineered the tobacco rattle virus to express the RNA-guided TnpB enzyme ISYmu1 and guide RNA for transgene-free germline editing in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Transcription factors instruct DNA methylation patterns in plant reproductive tissues
DNA methylation is maintained by forming self-reinforcing connections with other repressive chromatin modifications, resulting in stably silenced genes and transposons. However, these mechanisms fail ...
