Read Frank Buchholz's latest Nature Biotechnology article! A must-read for researchers in functional genomics. lnkd.in/d98vhQwN

really great paper from Sangamo, now peer-reviewed over two years after the initial preprint! this paper used LI Integrase and a RoseTTAFold model of Bxb1. since the preprint, structures of Bxb1, PhiC31, and SP-beta LSRs have all been solved. tons of great work in the LSR field recently
