A great example of the Network’s fundamental contributions to our understanding of the biological consequences of molecular manipulation and the benefits of cross cluster #collaborations. Lastly, but not in order of importance, another Network #ECR shining here! Well done Gillian Taylor!

Pleased to share our latest work and the first manuscript from the Degron Tagging Cluster in the MRC National Mouse Genetics Network. If you work with protein tags, particularly in tissue biology models, this should be of interest:
