Continuous Evolution System Based on Toxin–Antitoxin System Combined with Base Deaminase Accelerates the In Vivo Modification of Target Proteins

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The promoted Escherichia coli‐assisted continuous evolution (PEACE) system operates through a stringent three step genetic circuit: target gene mutation via a deaminase–T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) fusion, coupling variant function to antitoxin expression, and growth based selection of surviving cells.

Mepce Restrains Ferroptosis in Prostate Cancer Through 7SK–P‐TEFb Pause Control

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide CRISPR screening identifies MEPCE as a pause‐control regulator that restrains ferroptosis in prostate cancer. MEPCE loss releases P‐TEFb/CDK9 from 7SK snRNP control, enhances RNAPII Ser2 phosphorylation, and accelerates NRF2‐HMOX1‐driven labile iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation, revealing a transcriptional kinetic gate that lowers ...

Dual‐line Genome‐scale CRISPR Screening Enables Robust Target Gene Discovery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A species‐optimized CRISPR platform integrates efficient piggyBac delivery, genome‐scale sgRNA libraries, and parallel screening in two independently engineered Bactrocera dorsalis Cas9 cell lines. Cross‐line consensus analysis filters line‐specific effects, enriches candidates with reproducible in vivo phenotypes, and reveals conserved, species ...
