Huge thanks to everyone in the Shipman lab — especially Seth Shipman, Alex Gonzalez Delgado, Kate Crawford (now at Baker lab) — and Katie Pollard for helpful discussions. We’re excited to keep exploring where this technology can go.

Detectrons are, to our knowledge, the first synthetic system that directly converts RNA signals into DNA records — linking transient RNA detection to stable sequence-encoded outputs.
