IGF2BP1 revealed as a double agent* hemoglobin switcher! How this heterochronic RBP both inhibits BCL11A (thru HIC2) & directly binds + supports the fetal globin transcript: ashpublications.org/blood/article-… Led by fantastic Steve Coyne. *Scott Peslak commentary: ashpublications.org/blood/article/…

Very proud and grateful to be part of the journey! Fantastic job by @BasheerBecerra, sky is limit! A joy to share this with Luca!
Very proud of @BasheerBecerra , who defended his PhD yesterday. He came in with no background in CRISPR genome editing and leaves as a true expert in dissecting regulatory elements, combining experimental and computational approaches in a way very few people can.View quoted post on X
Inspired by Gibson cloning, we describe prime assembly, now published, for in cellulo targeted integration of gene-sized DNA fragments using prime editing. nature.com/articles/s4158…
In this piece, my mentor Stu Orkin and I (1) marvel at prime editing—discovery to disease correction for 2 patients after just 6 yr—wow Liu, Anzalone, Gori, Malech et al! & (2) consider the challenges to deliver genetic medicine’s promise for 2^n patients nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
We were inspired by @KajasteLab uncovering host factors that limit genetic engineering in HSCs. Awesome to converge on manipulating nucleotides for RT based gene therapy of quiescent cells.
