Introducing the Innovative Genomics Institute
A sizzle reel with script and voice-over by Hope.
CRISPR Clinical Trials: A 2022 Update
A beginner-friendly deep dive.
Metagenomics 101 With Spencer Diamond
“Now we know that there is a massive amount of genetic diversity, and humans and animals are just this little blip in the corner. In an evolutionary sense, we are insignificant and small!"
Rocking the Tree of Life
Identifying new species and hanging new branches on the tree of life.
CRISPR Made Simple
An easy-to-understand introduction to DNA, genes, and gene editing, designed for kids or anyone starting from scratch.
Microbes Meet Climate Change
Rice is grown in flooded paddies where methane-producing microbes thrive. By getting to know these microbes, can we intervene for a healthier planet? Text and voice-over by Hope.
New Study Shows Huge Phages Are Everywhere
IGI scientists uncover hundreds of huge viruses with new Cas genes.
IGI Scientists Make E. coli That Can Take Carbon Dioxide From the Air — And Use It
New study shows that re-engineered E. coli can absorb and concentrate carbon dioxide from the air, taking a step towards carbon sequestration.
Innovative Genomics Institute Credo
"We believe that science should serve the public good. Our work must realize the promise of genome engineering to advance human health and well-being."
Resistance is Futile: IGI Researchers on Borgs Discovery
"They're unlike chromosomal DNA, unlike plasmid DNA, and unlike viruses – therefore, we came up with a new name: Borg."
COVID-19 Research Spotlight: Hiten Madhani on Developing a Live-Attenuated Vaccine
"While no vaccine is a hundred percent effective, historically, live-attenuated vaccines are the best at preventing transmission, preventing infection, and preventing disease."
COVID-19 Research Spotlight: Laleh Coté on Virtual Mentoring
"For research experiences, the virtual environment creates compelling possibilities for who can collaborate with whom, and when, and how."
How Do You Get Inside a Cell? Copy a Virus
New research shows that virus-like particles can help ferry cutting-edge CRISPR therapies to specific cells.
Meet an IGI Scientist: Bruce Conklin
"It was a 'the emperor has no clothes' moment where I realized that we know almost nothing about the basic science of disease."
Meet an IGI Scientist: Christine He
"I clearly remember my first day of work, surrounded by 10-foot piles of dried cow manure and gingerly dipping a Falcon tube into what is called a 'manure lagoon' to collect microbes, and wondering what I got myself into."
