Incredible 👏🏾 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do viruses use RNA to rewire bacteria? Yes! In our paper in @cp-molcell.bsky.social RIL-seq reveals interkingdom RNA interactions during λ infection. Phages don’t just encode proteins, they use small RNAs to hijack bacterial replication and fine-tune infection. #RNA #Phage doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...

And here's the report @qedscience.bsky.social generated for our new paper, summarizing what's new and what was already known before. I'm planning to submit q.e.d's reports as cover letters together with my pre-prints from now on (and so should you!)

A major output of the 4D Nucleome project appeared today. This is the joint effort of many scientists working together and (publicly) sharing data and results for several years. We hope this is of interest to many genome biologists! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Good to see the peer reviewed version of this published A chemo-optogenetic system for spatiotemporal control of gene expression We use it to: - Reconstruct SHH mediated neural tube patterning in vitro - Measure extracellular half-life of Shh www.cell.com/developmenta...

New preprint from our lab: ‘Retroviral insertions contributed to the divergence of human and chimpanzee brains’. Very proud of this piece which took almost a decade to finish. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I feel like a parent seeing your first kid leave home ;-). While the entire Pauli lab family will greatly miss @lorenzoorts.bsky.social as Laura has become a real role model, it makes me incredibly happy & proud to have her establish the Lorenzo-Orts lab at the @imbmainz.bsky.social! All the best!

Axolotl can regrow lost limbs, matching their body size. How? Our new theory-experiment paper in @pnas.org proposes how oppositely oriented morphogen gradients scaling with animal size promote proportional growth. Great collaboration with @tatianasg.bsky.social @cmcb-tud.bsky.social

✨New preprint! 🧵1/4 Excited to share our work on AI-guided design of minimal RNA-guided nucleases. Amazing work by @petrskopintsev.bsky.social @isabelesain.bsky.social @evandeturk.bsky.social et al! Multi-lab collaboration @banfieldlab.bsky.social @jhdcate.bsky.social @jacobsenucla.bsky.social🧬 🔗👇

There’s an art to writing a grant proposal so that your creativity is on full display. Maria Leptin - president of the ERC - talks about it on the new episode of the Night Science Podcast.

🥂Congrats to Ori, Neri & co for their new Open Access study in our journal @natcellbio.nature.com showing that delayed #intestinal #regeneration results from protein homeostasis stress and can be improved by modulation of the #polyamine pathway dynamics. bit.ly/3YhxZHC

So 1,5 week ago @lufthansagroup.bsky.social lost my luggage, which I eventually had to locate myself. Now I had to spend 1,5 hours to file a reimbursement claim because of a dysfunctional website. Bravo Lufthansa, you managed to make @deutschebahn.com look good!

Group outing - we visited Bamberg and toured the city learned a bit about it history and ended up trying some smoked bier 🙃🥓 Want to join us next time? We are currently looking for potential new colleagues PhD and Postdoc level entry - please reach to see if our research interests align!

Great collaboration with Dougherty and Pavlovic Djuranovic labs on using MPRAs to look into non-coding mutations. Approaches for identification of 5′ UTR mutations impacting translation and protein production from neurodevelopmental disorder genes www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I feel extremely honoured for this recognition. Thanks go to many people from my lab and colleagues for their trust and support over the years

Oxidative phosphorylation complexes contain subunits encoded by both the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. How do cells coordinate the synthesis and assembly of these complexes at the inner membrane? We teamed up with Martin Ott (@mitolab.bsky.social) to address this in two recent papers.

Very happy to share our collaborative project on FAM118 proteins - noncanonical sirtuins that form filaments and process NAD in human and other vertebrate cells.

Exciting new #Zebrafish research from the #WeinsteinLab, led by Jong Park! “Specialized gas-exchange endothelium of the zebrafish gill” — www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Amazing to see red blood cells moving through the gills! Don’t forget to check out the supplemental movies ;-)

fantastic, congrats Jesse!
