Record participation in the 2025 #Agora call, with 100 proposals submitted The SNSF is supporting 29 projects with a total of 5.5 million Swiss francs. The projects foster dialogue between science and society. ➡️ sohub.io/em9y

Excited to share our new findings in @science.org on how the DRT3 bacterial defense system uses a reverse transcriptase that builds DNA repeats without a nucleic acid template. Microbes never cease to amaze! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Regulatory & Non-Coding RNAs starts tonight! Share your moments from the meeting this week with us by using #cshlregrna

So, this should be quite interesting! We just posted a BIG update to our Omnibenchmark "framework", basically a software layer to help you manage, build, standardize, and orchestrate reproducible and extensible (computational method) benchmarks .. (quite a mouthful) .. arxiv.org/abs/2409.17038

Als direkte Demokratie braucht die Schweiz vielfältige & unabhängige Medien. Über 600 Professor:innen aus allen Sprachregionen & Disziplinen setzen sich deshalb ein für einen starken Service public und sagen «Nein» zur Halbierungsinitiative. ➡️ www.wissenschaft-fuer-den-service-public.ch

How is RNA regulation shaped across tissues and species? Join us for two exciting talks by Roberto Campalastri (tRNA gene regulation) @mrc-tu.bsky.social and Meenu Bhati @meenubhati.bsky.social (lncRNA discovery in the bovine genome) Don’t miss it! Thursday 22nd 16:30h Zoom @cambiochem.bsky.social

ICYMI: New online! A genomic view of Earth’s biomes

Out today in @science.org! What if you could chart cells' regulatory programs at unprecedented resolution? In my work with Jorge Martin-Rufino from the @bloodgenes.bsky.social lab, we dissect the genome’s control circuits and find where key genetic variation hides bit.ly/3YhBMoO

📺 Yesterday Dr Kyle Ewart presented to us on the "Development of adaptable diagnostic tools to address One Health challenges". 🧬 🦠 If you missed the seminar, the recording is now available on our YouTube channel: youtu.be/7LNAdLnwWzM?...

Incredible three-day workshop with researchers from all career stages! Great discussions, new connections, and a broader perspective on research. Huge thanks to @suspigt.bsky.social for organizing such an insightful event! #Genetics #Nutrition #Microbiome #regulatorygenome

How to write a grant? 1. The application is for the reviewer, not you, the applicant. 2. Communicate in stories. 3. Make your story cohesive—leave no puzzling gaps. 4. Make your story resonate to keep the reviewer reading. 5. Accept chance and noise in peer-review. www.pnas.org/doi/epub/10....
