Q for the hive-mind 🧠: What transfection reagents do people like for big constructs these days? (I am thinking #HSV encoding BACs, ~170 kb). We've recently had poor performance with Trans-IT LT1 and Lipofectamine 2000, our two go-tos. Target cells are U2OS. Suggestions or RTs greatly appreciated 🙏

Absolutely delighted and privileged to have been appointed as a new group leader at @thecimr.bsky.social this week. The Dickens lab will be up and running later this year, continuing to understand mechanisms of disease in genetic forms of pulmonary fibrosis.
