“You’ve got it all wrong!” Says Nomy when looking at my plate reader calibration protocol. I think he’ll soon be loading my 96 well plate for me.

Latest preprint from Jane (Xinyu Lu) in our group explores what happens when we build a synthetic genome cluster in yeast for Histidine biosynthesis and SCRaMbLE it to see whether selected-for gene rearrangements can guide better design.

Thank you for all the help! These colonies are surprisingly very pretty under microscope 🤩
I know it's not Friday, but I need to share this amazing image @caseychen.bsky.social (change the LUT to make it -hopefully- colourbling friendly). Acquiered with our Fluo3D (oficially named THUNDER Imager Model Organism). Can you guess what is it?
