My earlier work helped me appreciate how allelic diversity quietly limits therapeutic genome editing. Co-leading this project to begin tackling that challenge has been a major highlight of my postdoc!
Today in @Nature we report a new prime editing strategy that can rescue a common cause of many genetic diseases in a disease-agnostic manner. This approach converts a redundant endogenous tRNA into an optimized suppressor tRNA, enabling a single prime edit to rescue premature

Today we’re sharing our new blind zero-shot image denoiser called Domino Denoise ( https://t.co/aG3jpRftou). With few assumptions and no straining set, Domino Denoise will accurately denoise an individual image by training exclusively on that very image.
