Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR.
We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets.
Thread + link below.
📢Out now on bioRxiv:
We used Plant STARR-seq to characterize the species- and condition-specific enhancer activity of over 350,000 sequences derived from four plant species.
