We had a great day at the 1st RNA Confluence Meeting of Rhine-Main-Neckar region German RNA Clubs(+Strasbourg) with 200 attendees & trainee talks at EMBL Heidelberg yesterday. Particularly proud of Sam and Philipp taking home 2 poster prizes (of 100 posters)! 🎉 🐙 Special thanks to Alessia and Venki!

Interesting new link between Rab7 membrane trafficking and oscar mRNA localisation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The registration deadline for this wonderful meeting is approaching! Be sure to reserve your spot before March 10!

SWARM is an AI framework for nanopore direct RNA sequencing that detects m6A, pseudouridine (Ψ), and m5C mods at single-nucleotide & single-molecule resolution. Key innovation: Crosstalk-aware training with non-target mods & validated cellular signals to reduce false positives. 2/6

Happy to announce that our review article on vesicle-coupled mRNA trafficking is now availalbe @mibinet.bsky.social #EMBOrnaLocalization link.springer.com/article/10.1...

We Are very happy that our Paper was published. Thank to everyone involved pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... @mibinet.bsky.social @mfeldbruegge.bsky.social @frunzkelab.bsky.social

Many thanks to everyone who joined on Friday and made it such a memorable afternoon—we greatly appreciate the warm welcome in Würzburg! @cctb-wue.bsky.social @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social #WueBiT

Very happy to See This Published!!!! Thanks for the collaboration link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Successful Girls' Day at HHU, powered by the Institute of Microbiology & MibiNet! Explored "Fungi as a chemical factory" with enthusiastic young minds. Great questions & future scientists in the making! Hope to see them back at uni someday.🔬👧 #GirlsDay2025 #MibiNet @hhu.de @mfeldbruegge.bsky.social

We are very happy to invite you to our 8th edition of the Rhineland RNA Club @mpiage.bsky.social with great local speakers and Julian König @koenig-lab.bsky.social as our invited speaker. All #RNA enthusiasts are welcome. Organized by @katleppek.bsky.social and @inahuppertz.bsky.social. #RNAsky

Amazing opportunity: Lecturer / Senior Lecturer in Machine Learning in Omics at Melbourne Integrative Genomics and the School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Melbourne, Australia. jobs.unimelb.edu.au/en/job/91945...

Flash Talk about @nfdi4plants.bsky.social at the #Plant2030 status meeting. Organize and store your plant research data for free as part of the German #NFDI. Check it out www.nfdi4plants.org free as in beer and open source.

Great talk from Aaron Vogan @fungage-lab.bsky.social -the exciting story of the discovery of the huge Starship transposon family in the pezizomycotina that can move up to 3% of the pangenome within and between fungal genomes under control of the Captain Kirc transposases. @ecfg172025.bsky.social

We are indebted to Alessia Buscaino for the discovery that the Candida albicans type SC5314 type strain is an RNAi Argonaut mutant. Her great talk today also shows that this is relevant to microbiome and macrophage interactions and has host niche specific consequences. @ecfg172025.bsky.social

Great opportunity! PhD position in @mfeldbruegge.bsky.social lab #PhD #RNA

Why do RBPs need multiple RNA-binding domains? We show transcriptome-wide that the endosomal mRNA transporter Rrm4 uses its three RRMs to differentiate functional binding sites from accessory ones. Great collaboration with @koenig-lab.bsky.social and Zarnack lab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hello Bluesky Community, I am new to bluesky and trying out my first steps. Looking forward for nice interactions
