"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

Researchers have performed a large-scale genetic screen to uncover the hidden roles of #microproteins. One of the discovered microproteins, named PIPPI, was found to protect cells from stress in the endoplasmic reticulum. Published in @narjournal.bsky.social 🧪 #proteomics news.ki.se/new-micropro...

This is a joint achievement by everyone who contributed to the elsaesserlab.wordpress.com over the past 10 years and I am so looking forward to our big 10-year reunion next week ❤️

Phenomenal first GRC on microproteins in Spain this month. Team Elsässer participated with a talk by @simonelsasser.bsky.social on the Pippi story (watch this space for more!), and posters by Alberto and I on our ongoing microprotein work /1

Finally the tides are starting to turn!! Cancer isn’t all about DNA mutations, nor even mRNA levels. We launched SyzOnc to map the proteins underlying deadly cancers that are not DNA-driven. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Fantastic work and a real tour de force from @simonelsasser.bsky.social and his talented team! Happy to be able to contribute to their efforts! 🎉👏

It feels a little bit postclimactic to post this now, after the first version of our paper hit bioRxiv when X was still a thing that people used, the revised version was formally accepted at Cell Community past November. But here is the final print version of our paper www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

...but please do read the latest version, with deepened mass spec support and additional analyses. And a final thanks for being in for the long haul Dörte, Lorenzo, Carmen, @plantproteomics-ms.bsky.social @thomasmartinez.bsky.social, @luzeenaraja.bsky.social co-authors! www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

Congrats @simonelsasser.bsky.social and so excited to see this work in print! #genomics #bioinformatics #RNAsky 🔎 #microproteins 🧬 💻 #RiboSeq #ncORFs

TiG's February issue is devoted to microproteins and the small ORFs that encode them. Check it out! www.cell.com/trends/genet...

Thanks for a fantastic year with Elsässerlab and Epigenica Ab!
