🚨 New study from the lab! We developed SEED selection, a method to purify KnockIns at multiple loci in a single step. Better, It takes no space in the donor template, can be easily multiplexed and its all through negative selection!

Using SEED, we fully reprogrammed three critical loci encoding T cell specificity, co-receptor expression, and MHC expression with up to 90% purity after one negative selection step for six simultaneous edits (three knock-ins and three knockouts).

Congrats Chris Chang! and thank you to all the collaborators from the Brian Shy, Alex Marson labs.
