- The collaborative article with the Noireaux group is accepted for publication in Molecular Cell. The article describes how cell-free TXTL systems can be rapidly used to characterize CRISPR-Cas systems, with demonstrations using novel Cpf1 nucleases and a diverse set of anti-CRISPR proteins. Congrats to the two first authors, Ryan Marshall and Colin Maxwell, the scientists at Benson Hill Biosystems, and the other contributing members of the Beisel group (Scott, Tom, Michelle)!
