Let's talk about how close we are to a cell-free mirror image central dogma in a tube, aka Mirror-PURE! This topic has been getting a lot of attention due to the recent @ScienceMagazine letter (science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…) outlining the threats posed by mirror life. 1/n

1. Check out our MS just out! Amazing Mauricio Aguilar developed a new ML pipeline that identifies ribosome pausing sites as an Anomaly Detection problem to overcome spurious signals that arise when analyzing RiboSeq data. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

A machine learning approach uncovers principles and determinants of eukaryotic ribosome pausing

Machine learning aided discovery of mechanisms regulating eukaryotic ribosome translation elongation rate and disome formation.

Our @UOKnightCampus @iGEM team this year is developing methods to fight enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC). They just launched a @uoregon DuckFunder fundraiser to send more team members to the final competition jamboree in France: duckfunder.uoregon.edu/proje…

IGEM 2024

Help University of Oregon raise $20,000 for the project: IGEM 2024. Your gift will make a difference!

Interested in antibody generation and expression of human proteins in bacteria? If you're at @ProteinSociety tonight check out poster 75 at Bayshore Grand Ballroom D with @MuggleInSynbio to hear about expressing the human proteome in E. coli. @UOKnightCampus

Story time! Introducing the first of several new flavors of DropSynth #genesynthesis we have been working on, cooked up by @AlkynesOfSci and Sam Hinton. TLDR: We show multiple gene variants assembled per barcoded droplet and 1 kbp lengths. 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Degenerate DropSynth for Simultaneous Assembly of Diverse Gene Libraries and Local Designed Mutants

Protein engineering efforts often involve the creation of hybrid or chimeric proteins, where functionality critically hinges on the precise design of linkers and fusion points. Traditional methods...

Roughly half the world's population is infected with H. pylori, a leading cause of stomach cancer. A group of UO undergraduates are working on a probiotic they hope could be a gamechanger. The iGEM team is raising funds to take their project to Paris: brnw.ch/21wCypS

Disability is a scientists super power. This is not simply due to strength, grit, or bravery. This is a common misconception. Disability is creativity. It means living fluidly. It is ingenuity and living beyond the box.  It is being adept at inventing new paths to thrive.

If you have multiple papers before you even began a PhD, it likely means you had access that others didn't. I wish more PhD programs would take a step back and stop this absurd practice of favoring multiple papers before someone even begins a training program.

My jaws keep dropping as I go through 70 PhD applicant files. People w/ 2 coauthored papers & an interesting solo writing sample don’t even make it to the top 10 in my pile. The level of knowledge, research experience & passion these kids bring to the table is just remarkable! 🤩

How often do undergrads publish with Nobel Prize winners? I don’t know, but three of @DrK_Wilkinson’s @SJSUScience undergrad researchers just did, in the prestigious journal @ScienceMagazine

My alma mater, SJSU, sits in the shadow of Stanford, UCSF, & Berkeley when it comes to getting prestigious donor support, despite having long been a more accessible option for local students from first gen, low-income backgrounds. Spartans deserve more support.

Amazing, would finally end Miseq for us. Why did it take 8 years? What's new? Price? Quality in the last 50bp on both ends? Looks good on linked demo run. Bit late though, most of our new projects >550bp variant+BC so moving towards PacBio + MAS-ISO-Seq like concat. or Nanopore.
Lee Murphy@LeeMurphyCRF17 Nov 2022
Illumina have released 600 cycle chemistry on the NextSeq. Order now for delivery mid-December. P1(600) = 100M reads; 2x300bp P2(600) = 300M reads; 2x300bp 4-12x the data of a MiSeq but keen to try it out and see if any good. DM me if you are interested.
