New experiment: I will work on a project (starting question: what antibiotic resistance genes co-occur in genomes/metagenomes and does it matter?) completely in the open

Everyone is welcome!

Today is a historical day that marks the approval of CRISPR gene therapy for sickle cell anaemia and beta-thalassemia.
10 years separate proof-of-concept paper from @doudna_lab to a real therapy by @VertexPharma and @CRISPRTX!
Exciting times!
