Excited to share our preprint led by Carlos Voogdt et al

We developed new genetic tools & genome-wide libraries for species of the Bacteroidales order; constructed saturated barcoded transposon libraries in key representatives of three genera.

Sneak peek: 2 weeks ago, our team presented the GUT-BASE: our new atlas mapping how gut microbes transform drugs.

We profiled thousands of microbe–drug interactions across gut species as a first step toward understanding — and eventually predicting — how the microbiome shapes drug metabolism.

Super excited to share our new selection-free CRISPR-Cas9 editing protocol for Dictyostelids, generating 80% KO and 30% KI efficiencies without selection in D. discoideum, and being effective in Dictyostelid species that diverged millions of years ago! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to see this huge piece of work out 🎉 Congrats to everyone involved! If you ever wanted to read a 8in1 paper grab a cup of tea and enjoy 📖
We are very happy to present our work on N-glycoproteomics!🍬 Our method enables the selective enrichment and precise quantification of intact N-glycopeptides to explore the dynamics of glycosylation microheterogeneity.
