š¬ More about TIGR-Tas, featuring THE first TIGR-Tas movie by @maxewilkinson.bsky.social
Absolutely thrilled to work alongside Max Wilkinson, Makoto Saito, and an incredible team, under the fantastic leadership of Feng Zhang! š¬āØ
š Exciting times ahead!
More soon :)
š Thrilled to share our latest work from Zhang Lab, now published in Science (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...)
We introduce TIGR-Tas, a PAM-free, compact, modular RNA-guided DNA-targeting system in prokaryotes & their viruses.
More details coming soon š

we recently found some really neat RNA-guided DNA-cutting systems in phages. Despite remarkable similarities to CRISPR systems, including encoding guide RNAs in arrays, they appear entirely evolutionarily distinct (but definitely related to snoRNAs š¤)
We decided to call them TIGR-Tas systems šÆ
