1/This great @elpaisinenglish article explains one of the most exciting recent discoveries in the Gene & RNA editing field - the discovery of @pdhsu’s Bridge RNA - a new class of RNA guided systems which enables large scale gene editing even beyond RNA & DNA cuts. Here’s my🧵👇
What if we could universally recombine, insert, delete, or invert any two pieces of DNA? In back-to-back @Nature papers, we report the discovery of bridge RNAs and 3 atomic structures of the first natural RNA-guided recombinase - a new mechanism for programmable genome design
