Bacteria Harness Reverse Transcriptase to Make Novel Genes From Noncoding RNA
Researchers identified a defense-associated reverse transcriptase system dubbed DRT2 that uses noncoding RNA and programmed template jumping to produce new, protein-coding immune genes.
The firm is developing genetic reporters designed to be selectively expressed by cancer cells, producing markers detectable by imaging or other readouts.
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Launches New York Biohub for Immune Cell-Based Early Disease Detection
A collaboration of Columbia, Rockefeller, and Yale, CZ Biohub NY aims to harness immune cells as "cellular endoscopes" for disease detection and monitoring.
