Precise DNA integration is key for many therapies, but inserting large, scarless sequences remains challenging. What if we could reprogram nature's mobile elements for programmable genome writing? Today we (+ @omarabudayyeh) debut Stitchr in @Nature

Nematodes are fun to work with. Even more exciting in Dr. Thomasās lab. @UNL_PlantPath
Happy Friday! We decided to shake things up this week and are excited to bring you #FacultyFeatureFriday! This week, learn more about Dr. Tom Powers, including his favorite plant pathogen (spoiler alert: it's a #nematode). Have a great weekend, Huskers! #UNL #PlantPathology

I wear a NEBRASKA mask because as a life scientist, science tells me that it is a common sense way to minimize transmission of the coronavirus causing COVID-19 ā it is simple, smart, and the very least I can do for all of us.
