Great news! đ„ł A new study from the group of @piotraz.bsky.social shows that it is possible to precisely control where meiotic recombination occurs in plant genomes using the CRISPR/dCas9 system. Now published in Science Advances! Congratulations Maja SzymaĆska-Lejman, Piotr Ziolkowski and the crew!
Targeting chromatin modifiers to DNA hotspots reveals causal link between histone marks, transcription, and meiotic recombination.
