  1. (2016) FlowCal: A user-friendly, open source software tool for automatically converting flow cytometry data from arbitrary to calibrated units. Sebastian Martin Castillo-Hair, John Thomas Sexton, Brian Landry, Evan James Olson, Oleg A Igoshin, and Jeffrey J. Tabor et al. ACS Synthetic Biology. NA. Link. Summary: The authors present an open-source software to convert arbitrary units into calibrated unit molecules of equivalent fluorophore (MEF) for flow cytometry data. Using either an Excel interface or Python script, the software additionally performs basic statistical analyses, automatically gates data, and produces plots. The software has been validated and optimized across several cell types, days, and machines.

    Summary: The researchers stably integrated a synthetic tRNA-synthetase into mouse ESCs and were able to insert unnatural amino acids into target proteins to study histone acetylation. Not too relevant to any work being done in the lab but I just found it a cool concept to consider.

    Summary: A review paper that mostly talks about recent advances in CRISPR-Cas9 technology but also talks about zinc finger proteins and transcription activator-like effectors. Potentially interesting for anyone doing CRISPR work.

PLOS Biology. http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1002386 Summary: Bacteria frequently use multiple quorum-sensing systems to control group behaviors. The benefits of utilizing multiple QS inducer—receptor pairs are unclear and mysterious, because these signals seem redundant. It appears that when in low abundance, a strain with additional QS networks can avoid cooperating with its ancestor strain (which does not have the extra QS networks), only to return to its cooperative state when it is abundant. This paper demonstrates that "increased complexity in QS signaling circuits can evolve without providing adaptive advantage in a clonal population".
