Using genetically engineered bacteriophages to fight infection: Viruses that can infect and kill bacteria

Scientists have used an experimental therapy that relies on bacteria-infecting viruses collected, in part, through HHMI’s SEA-PHAGES program to fight a Mycobacterium infection in a 15-year-old girl. The patient, a 15-year-old girl, had come to London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital for a double lung transplant. It was the summer of 2017, and her lungs were struggling to

Using genomics and gene editing rapidly bring groundcherries toward domestication

By combining genomics and gene editing, researchers have figured out how to rapidly bring a plant known as the groundcherry toward domestication. Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and… groundcherries? A little-known fruit about the size of a marble could become agriculture’s next big berry crop. To prepare the groundcherry (Physalis pruinosa) for mainstream farming, Howard Hughes Medical Institute

Easy-to-use technology that simultaneously monitors neural activity at hundreds of different sites within the brain

Neuropixels probes represent a significant advance in measurement technology and will allow for the most precise understanding yet of how large networks of nerve cells coordinate to give rise to behavior and cognition. Neuroscientists who want to follow the nervous system’s cellular conversations will soon have access to easy-to-use technology that simultaneously monitors neural activity

A process that could one day enable precise DNA surgery to correct mutations that cause human diseases

A new type of DNA editing enzyme, developed in HHMI Investigator David Liu’s lab, lets scientists directly and permanently change single base pairs of DNA from A•T to G•C. The process could one day enable precise DNA surgery to correct mutations that cause human diseases. DNA editing just got a sharp, new pencil. Researchers have

AI saves 3,800 years work building the most comprehensive neural maps of behavior yet created (fly)

Scientists at HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus created comprehensive brain maps linking different groups of neurons to specific behaviors, using a machine-learning program that annotated more than 225 days of videos of flies – a feat that would have taken humans some 3,800 years. A smart computer program named JAABA has helped scientists create a brain-wide
