Thank you for asking this important question @BaggyShanker
Malnutrition causes 45% of the deaths of under-fives & 20% of maternal deaths worldwide. It wreaks misery & fuels instability.
People in Gaza must have access to nutrition.

No child should sleep hungry in a world full of food.
Hunger is not a lack of resources, it’s a lack of responsibility.
It’s on all of us to play our part in building a world where every child is nourished and protected.

And also a huge thank you to @jacobsenucla.bsky.social , where the discovery that SDG2 activates gene expression was first made by his then PhD student, Ash, and for allowing me to work on and then further develop the system in my own lab.

All peachy right? Well there is a catch, SunTag-SDG2 also causes some off-target effects, which manifest as increased background noise in H3K4me3 ChIP-seq datasets.

Ok what about modulating something other than gene expression, like crossovers? Here, we teamed up with @hendersi.bsky.social , targeting SunTag-SDG2 to an entire centromere, finding that this unlocked recombination in surrounding regions that are normally highly suppressed. Hello plant breeding…

By coupling the CRISPR/dCas9 based SunTag system with the plant H3K4me3 methyltransferase, SDG2, we show that H3K4me3 can activate the expression of a gene that is typically silent, FWA. Works super well, and honestly slightly unexpected as DNA methylation is though to be the main player for FWA...
