Please re-post: Interested in chromatin and its evolution? Good news! There's still time to join us in beautiful Catalonia (9-12 Dec) to discuss eukaryotic, bacterial, archaeal, and viral chromatin and how it all hangs together meetings.embo.org/event/24-evo... Abstract deadline: 30 September

Happy to share our contribution for this book on circular RNAs....With my colleague Hubert Becker, we provide a short survey on circular RNA in Archaea... #RNAsky #Archaea link.springer.com/chapter/10.1...

Our RAPPL purification of ribosomes and associated material is out. I am really proud of this study in collaboration primary with Pavlovic-Djuranovic lab, as well as Jovanovic and Hashem Labs. This method aims to replace 60 years old purification of ribosomes by sucrose cushions rdcu.be/ezlhg

Fresh preprint from the @novoalab.bsky.social !😀📌 Do you want to barcode up to 96 #RNA samples in your #nanopore flowcells? How well do RNA #modification-aware models perform? What if there is #noBasecallingModel for your modification-of-interest? Find it out here!😊 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Dear all, We are starting an exciting new project in close collaboration with Clément Carré in Paris, France. A fully funded PhD position is available in my group at the vetmeduni Vienna! Please help us spreading the word - please forward it to interested students.

⭐NAR Breakthrough!⭐ 🧬 Sun et al. just dropped a high-throughput method to track all #tRNA #modifications across cells & tissues using #massspec. Read the full article here: doi.org/10.1093/nar/... #NARBreakthrough #RNA #tRNA #epitranscriptomics #systemsbiology #therapeuticdiscovery.

I am so incredibly excited to share our latest work, on the exploration of #RNA secondary structure ensembles and discovery of RNA regulatory structural switches in bacteria and human cells, just out in @natbiotech.nature.com: nature.com/articles/s41.... A short tread! (1/n)

Finally out! I’m thrilled to share our new paper (Wolin et al., Cell 2025). This paper describes SPIDR, a high-throughput method for mapping RBP binding sites. By combining #SPIDR with #cryoEM, we identified the exact binding site of LARP1 within the #mRNA channel of the 40S ribosomal subunit.

Our latest work, driven by the fabulous @stephkoe.bsky.social! WitChi takes care of compositional bias in large phylogenomic datasets! WitChi is fast, efficient and free, try it out! With @kassipan.bsky.social and @danieltamarit.bsky.social
