This paper develops a cryptographic encoding scheme called GSE to ensure information confidentiality and integrity in biological substrates using multi-site base editing in mammalian cells.

This study investigates the portability of RecT-mediated homologous recombination across bacterial species, finding that compatibility with the host's single-stranded DNA-binding protein determines functionality.

This paper develops dead-Cas9 base editors that enable large-scale genome editing in human cells by reducing DNA nicking, allowing editing of over 10,000 loci.

This study shows that training deep neural networks with robustness methods improves interpretability in genomics tasks.
