Dear Journals, Stop hiding the middle authors' names behind a "+" or "...." or "see all." I realize it makes the page look nicer, but it's the EXACT OPPOSITE of promoting collaboration and interdisciplinary work. @eLife and @PNASNews in particular should know better!

So thrilled to finally be able to share our study on CRISPR prime editing originally developed in @davidrliu 's lab. We proudly present: Prime Editing All-in-One (PEA1) and Nuclease prime editor. Thread biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Optimized nickase- and nuclease-based prime editing in human and mouse cells

Precise genomic modification using prime editing (PE) holds enormous potential for research and clinical applications. Currently, the delivery of PE components to mammalian cell lines requires...

A good report on the state of play for @JennerInstitute’s #COVID19 vaccine. Huge efforts are underway and the first UK trial results will emerge over the next few weeks, although it may take months to get enough data as community infection rates have fallen in the UK

🤯coolest technique I've seen this year @ScienceMagazine. vfCRISPR (with caged gRNA) allows Cas9 to bind DNA but not cleave until light-induced activation. Enables DNA-repair studies at high resolution in space, time, and genomic coordinates 🌌 science.sciencemag.org/conte…
