Delighted to introduce KELPE: mESCs with two insulated genomic landing pads, which we use to generate new synNotch and PUFFFIN neighbour-labelling lines.
They were named after kelpies, creatures from Scottish folklore, and they look pretty on a kelpie micropattern!

‘Virtual cell’ captures most-basic process of life: bacterial division Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

For the first time, researchers have simulated nearly every chemical reaction in a living bacterial cell. The simulation models the virtual cell copying its DNA and dividing in two. www.nature.com/articles/d41... #biology #synbio
