They are not an unlikely duo, but rather a perfect, complementary pair! DNA and RNA are very similar, but they have unique biological roles. RNA and DNA are both a type of molecule called a nucleic acid, but their structures are different in subtle ways. DNA stores genetic information to help your body develop and function. Towards that same goal, your cells use RNA for a number of tasks, including copying that genetic information to make important proteins for your body. Learn more about the differences between these two in our fact sheet! https://lnkd.in/eS-8AKPh

Jef Boeke, NYU Langone Health, discusses groundbreaking advancements in genetic engineering and synthetic biology, highlighting the innovative "Assemblatron," and the ambitious "Dark Matter Project." https://lnkd.in/erJfmDVN Boeke begins by explaining the concept of synthetic genomes and "Big DNA" and showcasing how scientists can design and construct DNA from scratch to create entirely new organisms or modify existing ones. Boeke introduces the "Assemblatron," a cutting-edge platform designed to automate the assembly of large DNA constructs. He discusses how this technology can accelerate research and development in synthetic biology, making it possible to create complex genetic systems more efficiently and accurately. The presentation then transitions to the "Dark Matter Project," an initiative aimed at uncovering the unknown functions of vast regions of non-coding DNA, often referred to as the "dark matter" of the genome. Boeke shares insights into how this project could revolutionize our understanding of genetics and lead to novel discoveries and gene therapies. Boeke describes the development of an animal model for X-Linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP) and how a synthetic genomics approach to investigate the XDP/TAF1 locus has potential to lead to the development of gene therapies. Whether you're a scientist, student, or simply curious about the future of genetics, this presentation offers a captivating glimpse into the possibilities of synthetic genomes and the innovative projects driving the field forward. This presentation was part of the Genome Technology Forum, a hybrid event held at The Jackson Laboratory in collaboration with the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).

To have genomics research that’s gold-medal worthy, we need to look beyond having one human genome sequence! One sequence can’t possibly represent everyone’s genomic diversity. That’s why researchers are working on a pangenome, a collection of complete genome sequences in which human populations and their genomic variants are better represented! Researchers from the international Human Pangenome Reference Consortium have released a high-quality collection of complete reference human genome sequences! This will help make genomics studies more diverse and representative of all people! https://lnkd.in/eBNF7SXJ

Alejandro Chavez and Joonwon Kim of UC San Diego discuss their recent 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 publication on high-throughput insertion of tags across the genome (HITAG). This cutting-edge technique enables rapid and efficient tagging of endogenous proteins, providing an invaluable tool for the large-scale interrogation of protein function. https://lnkd.in/eg8p4ijG 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗛𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗚? HITAG (High-Throughput Insertion of Tags Across the Genome) is a novel method designed to facilitate the study of protein function on a large scale. By leveraging a modified Cas9-based targeted insertion strategy that relies on nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), HITAG allows for the rapid creation of libraries of cells, each containing a different protein of interest tagged at the C-terminus. 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Using HITAG, the researchers fused mCherry to a set of 167 stress granule-associated proteins. This enabled them to elucidate the features driving a subset of proteins to accumulate strongly within these transient RNA-protein granules. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗛𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗚 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁? Understanding the dynamic behavior and interaction partners of proteins is crucial for building an accurate working model of the cell. Protein tags, such as those created by HITAG, facilitate numerous studies, including in vivo protein localization, affinity purification, and rapid protein degradation.
