Li D, Zhang S, Lin S, Xing W, Yang Y, Zhu F, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Dec; 15(1):10727. PMID: 39737904
Exceptionally diverse type V CRISPR-Cas systems provide numerous RNA-guided nucleases as powerful tools for DNA manipulation. Two known Cas12e nucleases, DpbCas12e and PlmCas12e, are both effective in genome editing. However,...

Wang K, Liu S, Zhou S, Qileng A, Wang D, Liu Y, et al.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl . 2024 Nov; 64(4):e202416671. PMID: 39558180
Natural protein-protein communications, such as those between transcription factors (TFs) and RNA polymerases/ribosomes, underpin cell-free biosensing systems operating on the transcription/translation (TXTL) paradigm. However, their deployment in field analysis is...

Zhang W, Cheng L, Li K, Xie L, Ji J, Lei X, et al.
Nat Plants . 2024 Jul; 10(8):1215-1230. PMID: 39014153
Heterochromatic condensates (chromocenters) are critical for maintaining the silencing of heterochromatin. It is therefore puzzling that the presence of chromocenters is variable across plant species. Here we reveal that variations...
