New @TheTGFLab pre-print in BioRxiv! 🧬 In this paper led by Josh Graham we establish that not all #CRISPR delivery systems are created equal and that editing efficiency alone is insufficient for delivery system selection. Check it out! ⬇️⬇️ biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Cas9 gets an upgrade! Check out our new paper in The CRISPR Journal: bit.ly/hiNLS-Cas9 Eric Noel (who is on the job market!) created Cas9 constructs w/ nuclear localization signals (NLS) in the backbone, boosting genome editing activity in T cells. #CRISPR
