Wired—Measuring which genes are on and which are off in a cell usually requires killing it, meaning any measurement is simply a snapshot in time. Seth Shipman explains how his lab has circumvented this problem by re-engineering parts of a bacterial immune system to create a record of molecular events within a cell.

Singularity Hub—Genomics tools allow scientists to get a glimpse of what genes are turned on in a cell at one particular moment, but understanding how genes are turned on or off over time, and in what order, has been impossible. Gladstone Investigator Seth Shipman has developed a biological recorder that keeps track of these events, offering a window into how cells change over time.

The Daily Californian—Senior Investigator Melanie Ott, MD, PhD, and collaborator Abdullah Syed, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Senior Investigator Jennifer Doudna, explain how they discovered that antibodies against early versions of the SARS-CoV-2 virus do not protect well against the now widespread and highly contagious Omicron variant, and recommend masking to avoid new infections.

UCSF News—Nevan Krogan, PhD, a senior investigator at Gladstone and the director of the Quantitative Biosciences Institute at UC San Francisco, leads a vast, international collaborative effort to find drugs against COVID-19 called the QBI Coronavirus Research Group (QCRG). The group recently received $67.5 million from the National Institutes of Health, the largest such award in UCSF's history, to pursue work on coronaviruses and other viruses with pandemic potential.

San Jose Mercury News—Senior Investigators Melanie Ott, MD, PhD, and Bruce Conklin, MD, recount how they used miniature balls of beating heart cells called organoids to study the effects of COVID-19 on the heart. The heart cells were derived from a person's skin cells, thanks to technology pioneered by Senior Investigator and Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD.
