Join us to hear about writing and re-writing the central dogma! Looking forward to hosting Samuel Sternberg @sternberglab.bsky.social from @columbiauniversity.bsky.social for our Dahlem Colloquium Seminar at the MPI for Molecular Genetics @molgen.mpg.de - see below 👇

proud PI with two of our students giving their last presentation before moving on to very bright scientific futures. their sendoff included a very bright homemade meal, courtesy of our postdoc (Zhuqing Xiong) Nadine Brombacher (Master's) Ekaterina German (Bachelor's)

immensely grateful to @erin-schuman.bsky.social and @mpibrain.bsky.social for hosting me yesterday 🤝 MPI Brain has always been a guiding light - exceptional in neuroscience research, and courageous as a voice for science in society. the future is bright here, thank you for sharing that with me 🫶

post-translational control in the spotlight! rock on @hassanbraindevlab.bsky.social 🤩

Our Metabuli taxonomic classifier is now available as an app compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS. It features an interactive visualization developed by @sunjaelee.bsky.social, along with improvements to Metabuli by @jbeom.bsky.social. 📄 academic.oup.com/bioinformati...

🔥 hot off the press from the Silver Lab 🔥 🤩😎😍

If you’re interested in a PhD that explores the ins and outs of genomes and the nucleus - don’t look further but apply here!!! It is excellent 👌

Interested in the mechanisms of neurogenesis, and how they might converge/differ across species, regions, and life epochs? Check this out, wonderful location and great science! Please RT neuro-unige.ch/news/csf-mee...

We have an open group leader position in diabetes 1 research. Please circulate! www.nature.com/naturecareer....

🚨JOB ALERT🚨 FRIENDS PLEASE SPREAD and RT We are building a small expert team within the @bokelab.bsky.social at @crg.eu @prbb.org to investigate fundamental questions in oocyte cell biology, focusing on how proteostasis regulation influences dormancy and fertility. See below 2 calls👇

rock on Raquel!

yo scientists awesome opportunity! ⬇️🔥

A fantastic scientist with a bright future, Deana Haxhiraj, has graduated from her Master's in my lab at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics @molgen.mpg.de in the @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social Berlin Program. Today was her last day, with a sendoff to her next great adventure!

heads up! great story from the @trayon.bsky.social lab 😍

Many thanks to Eugenio Fornasiero @forna.bsky.social and the great students at Università degli Studi di Trieste for hosting me this week 🇮🇹! A particularly special time to teach science, during the Trieste Next – Festival della ricerca scientifica...and some lovely weather ☀️ Arrivederci!

How are RNAs sorted for export vs. degradation in the nucleus? In collaboration with @heick.bsky.social’s lab we (@clemensplaschka.bsky.social and @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social labs) discovered a direct mechanistic link between the export and decay machineries: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/x)

MMseqs2-GPU sets new standards in single query search speed, allows near instant search of big databases, scales to multiple GPUs and is fast beyond VRAM. It enables ColabFold MSA generation in seconds and sub-second Foldseek search against AFDB50. 1/n 📄 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 💿 mmseqs.com

🤘 Rock on 🤘 Katrina Meyer & Rainer Nikolay from the Kraushar Lab @molgen.mpg.de presenting at the SPP2191 & GBM Compact Meetings in Frankfurt. Was fun to see my lab's work from the audience, and be their paparazzi 📸 The decor matched the topic 😉 Thanks to @spp2191.bsky.social for funding our work!

Rainer and I did our last experiment together in the Kraushar Lab @molgen.mpg.de on Sunday - like many such days since our postdocs. Rainer will soon lead a team in the Emmanuelle Charpentier Dept @MPUSP - stay tuned for more!

rock on Claudi!
