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!

We're thrilled to continue our deep dive into how chromatin mechanics govern how our genomes function with our A-team @andersshansen.bsky.social @Davide Michieletto, and @Sandra Tenreiro. A huge thanks to the @dfg.de and @hfspo.bsky.social for supporting us. Stay tuned! PhDs/Postdocs coming soon!

@drmrobson.bsky.social has won two grants from @dfg.de & @hfspo.bsky.social totaling over €2 million. He and his lab now work to decode the mechanics of #chromatin, hoping to finally define its physical state and better understand how it governs gene regulation www.mdc-berlin.de/news/news/mi...
