Rewriting the genome of Escherichia coli
Our recently acquired ability to synthesize DNA at large scale is opening the door to writing entire genomes; this constitutes a powerful approach to address fundamental biological questions, and may enable the creation ... -
Identification and Evolution of New Orthogonal Aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase/tRNA Pairs for Genetic Code Expansion
Genetic code expansion is the branch of molecular biology aiming to expand the repertoire of amino acids which can be incorporated into proteins in vivo. A central challenge in expanding the genetic code of cells to ... -
The organisation of a third-order olfactory brain region in the vinegar fly
Neural representations of the chemosensory world generate both learned and instinctive behaviours. Olfactory systems detect a huge range of volatiles by combining patterns of activity across input channels. The lateral ... -
Synthetic In Vivo Reconstitution of Asymmetric Cell Division
Asymmetric cell division (ACD) is the process whereby one dividing cell gives rise to two daughter cells of differing fates. ACD is known to be controlled, at least in part, by protein complexes that reside asymmetrically ...
