My first postdoc paper is live! 🥳 Multiple CRISPR systems can interact for type VI-A spacer acquisition, check it out here:

Next stop: Honeymoon Avenue!
Congratulations to Fernando and Jessica on their wedding! They chose a venue accessible by Line 33 and even included transit in their theme. Public transit connects us all, and it was an honor to be part of their special day. 🚍💍

When I joined Ansa as one of the first couple employees back in 2020, the dream was to enable researchers to be able to order DNA that was impossible to synthesize with existing technologies. Today that dream came true as Ansa has fully launched its first commercial DNA products!
We’re thrilled to share the launch of our first commercial products, Ansa Clonal DNA and Ansa DNA Fragments. With ultra-rapid, assembly-free production of complex DNA sequences up to 600 bp, we aim to help customers achieve their most ambitious projects. bit.ly/3LLy8gr

Yesterday we stopped by the Health Sciences Building to talk with CEO of @UWMedicine, Tim Dellit.
Postdocs and Researchers making the work happen in the School of Medicine have the following messages for him:

UW Postdocs are on strike! ✊✊✊ WA state passed a law requiring salaried workers to be paid a living wage; we are just asking UW to follow the law!

We just announced @AnsaBio that we can write super COMPLEX and LONG sequences in ONE write! It was always my dream in grad school to actually be able to order crazy sequences like this that are the length of a gene! Now the team has made the dream come true 🤯🤩

@gmaxot traces the endoplasmic reticulum in yeast meiosis: some goes on to the next generation, some is tethered outside of the gametes, and some is degraded by autophagy. Beautiful yeast cell biology from @brarkeley lab @berkeleymcb, don't miss the videos!
Meiotic yeast cells selectively disassemble and degrade their ER. George Maxwell Otto, Gloria Ann Brar @brarkeley @berkeleyMCB and colleagues show that the cortical ER undergoes programmed collapse from the plasma membrane during meiosis. bit.ly/3lPbo2O #ER_literature
I know some of you were holding out for a version with that sweet two-column formatting, now available here courtesy of @JCellBiol - bit.ly/3lPbo2O.
Woah! What’s going on with the ER as this cell progresses through meiosis? I spent the last six years trying to figure it out so that you don’t have to. Happy to share my PhD work, including a few cool surprises, as a preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
