“Using LySE, we evolved [..] a 50.9% increase in end-point biomass of a bacterial strain that utilizes the PET monomer, ethylene glycol, as its sole carbon source.” —> nice work

For the programmers of life, here's our new @Nature paper from the ChinLab @MRC_LMB on continuous genome synthesis. Full text here: rdcu.be/dfA6a. #SyntheticBiology #GenomeEngineering #research
CONEXER makes the creation of E. coli with designed genomes like #Syn61 much more accessible, BASIS enables the swift assembly of Mb-scale synthetic human DNA. Check out these powerful #genomeengineering methods! Thanks to Jason Chin and all contributors! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Happy 1 year anniversary, Fredens Lab! It’s been fun and immensely fulfilling to follow the transformation of empty benches into a busy lab space with this great bunch of dedicated people. (1/2)

Congrats to Constructive Bio for a successful launch. We worked on the underlying technologies for many years in Jason Chin's Lab @MRC_LMB, and I can't wait to see, what the future brings. Wishing the team the very best of luck! ft.com/content/ec7563f6-c3bf…

Nice farewell, but sad to say goodbye to Ruby: The first summer student and first poster prize winner of Fredens Lab. Best of luck back at Uni of Toronto - we hope to see you again soon, Ruby!

I thought it must be spoof account. Turns it it wasn’t. Researchfish is in fact threatening academics who don’t like impact reporting in Researchfish and are reporting them to their funders. This is bonkers. #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

Will do my best to not publicise every little experiment from the Fredens Lab. But the very first (and second) PCR product qualifies for a proud tweet. Enjoy the weekend!

Two years ago we created a bacterium #syn61 with a new genetic code. Now we've put the bug to good use and shown that it 1) is resistant to cocktails of viruses, and 2) can be programmed to produce polymers made entirely from non-canonical amino acids. science.sciencemag.org/conte…
