Time for a thread on our Christmas preprint “Origin and evolution of acrocentric chromosomes in human and great apes”. I had so much fun with this project and paper. It will be hard to summarize in a thread, but I’ll try www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... [1/21]

i'll see you there Dafni! join us to build resilience in these times of uncertainty for neuroscience...for (all)science. anyone reading the news in the US and UK lately? stronger 🤝 together

suuuper cool ❤️‍🔥🤩❤️‍🔥 evolution of a "visceral brain" tempted to step outside of the "cranial brain" for a hot minute...

FoldMason is out now in @science.org. It generates accurate multiple structure alignments for thousands of protein structures in seconds. Great work by Cameron L. M. Gilchrist and @milot.bsky.social. 📄 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🌐 search.foldseek.com/foldmason 💾 github.com/steineggerla...

We wrote a protocol article detailing induction of dormancy in stem cells, embryos, and blastoids. We hope that it is useful to the community. As usual fun to work with @nicolasrivron.bsky.social, Heidar and Dhanur.

This Saturday at WFMU's Monty Hall: "Sun Ra: Do the Impossible," a kaleidoscopic portrait of the visionary jazz musician, composer, and poet. Hosted by DJ Irwin Chusid. Q&A to follow w/exec producer Bradford Smith and Sun Ra biographer Paul Youngquist. Tix/info:

New preprint from my lab!!! We took advantage of the MitoTag mouse line to study what mRNAs associate with mitochondria in axons in vivo, and we were in for a surprise! Other than our favorite Pink1, mainly cytoskeletal mRNAs hitch a ride and pave the way for axon growth. shorturl.at/rYe1U

We spend way too much time manually analyzing #microtubules 🔬 Together with Mario, Justus, Dominik, Felix & Erik we used synthetic data and foundation models to build a fully automated segmentation pipeline.
 #microscopy, #imageanalysis & #AI Check out our preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

📣First preprint of the lab📣 Did that really happen?😅 Enteric neurons, aka somatic postmitotic cells, must hold on to their sex identity tight, to deliver a tuned response to signals from the ovary that instruct the animal to engage sex-matched behavioural programmes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I am very happy (and a bit scared) to present to you what we have been working on over the last 4 years. This manuscript is exactly what I dreamt of when I started the lab and I could not be happier and prouder of the outcome!

Excited to publish our work on how mutations in the muscle-specific ribosomal protein RPL3L drive severe heart disease. This is Part I of a larger body of work led by Michael - stay tuned for Part II on how specialized ribosomes function in normal physiology www.nature.com/articles/s44...

a 55 ribosome chimera session is what i want from santa this christmas

Are you looking to establish yourself as a scientific group leader? Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC), University of Copenhagen is recruiting 1-2 junior group leaders to join our research centre in the heart of Copenhagen. See more at www.bric.ku.dk Please repost and get in touch

The Kraushar Lab @molgen.mpg.de just turned 4 years old. We wish everyone a happy holiday, and look forward to sharing some of the science we've been cooking - stay tuned in 2026!

come check out what we're cooking here! 📣 early career neuroscience researchers in europe 📣 this will be prior to FENS 2026 in Barcelona - have a look 😎

really cool event hosted by our MPI neighbors!

amazing lab amazing pi - apply !

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!
