🚨🚨Preprint alert!🚨🚨 We removed the main centromere 3 domain of Drosophila‼️ We designed an inducible dCas9-Fok1 system to cut 🧬 at unique sequences flanking the ~50-kb island where most of CENP-A sits. To our knowledge, this has never been attempted in a living animal!

Cool wildlife sighting from last weekend- common European viper (Vipera berus) in southern Finland. Spotted by my 5 y.o. Snakes in general give me an ick, but nevertheless it’s cool to see a viper in the wild
