Dynamic plasmid copy number control for synthetic biology
Trends Biotechnol. 2023 Sep 7:S0167-7799(23)00238-X. doi: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2023.08.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPlasmids that replicate independently from chromosomes are valuable genetic tools for biological research. Dynamic control of plasmid copy number facilitates flexible regulation of the gene of interest or the genetic circuit installed in the plasmid. This useful strategy is being integrated into synthetic biology for metabolic reprogramming and biosensing applications.PMID:37689527 | DOI:10.1016/j.tibtech.2023.08.004 (Source: Trends in Biotechnology)

How close are we to storing data in DNA?
Trends Biotechnol. 2023 Sep 4:S0167-7799(23)00235-4. doi: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2023.08.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDNA is an intelligent data storage medium due to its stability and high density. It has been used by nature for over 3.5 billion years. Compared with traditional methods, DNA offers better compression and physical density. DNA can retain information for thousands of years. However, challenges exist in scalability, standardization, metadata gathering, biocybersecurity, and specialized tools. Addressing these challenges is crucial for widespread implementation. Collaboration among experts, as well as keeping...

Fanzor: a compact programmable RNA-guided endonuclease from eukaryotes
Trends Biotechnol. 2023 Sep 4:S0167-7799(23)00237-8. doi: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2023.08.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe IS200/605 transposons in prokaryotes are known to harbor programmable endonucleases. Despite carrying their own transposable elements, no such effector has been characterized in eukaryotes. Saito et al. recently reported compact and programmable RNA-guided eukaryotic endonucleases, called Fanzors, that can induce targeted genetic modifications, thus expanding the genome-editing toolbox.PMID:37673694 | DOI:10.1016/j.tibtech.2023.08.003 (Source: Trends in Biotechnology)
