We all experienced this, one way or another! But, at the end, the manuscript always gets better!!!!

Yep we went through this…
Absolutely gutted by this - the downstream effects on early career researchers, primarily women, will be felt for decades pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pn…

So excited to share our work @biorxivpreprint, which shows the ribosome structure of the tick-borne pathogen Babesia divergens! Congratulations @CristinaGVx @HarvardMicro and @HC2EM biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Combining single-particle cryo-EM and nanopore sequencing enabled us to map rRNA modifications in the Babesia ribosome, including nearly half that have not been reported in any organism 😲 These novel modifications span minimized expansion segments and key functional regions.

As babesiosis incidence continues to rise worldwide 🌎, our Babesia divergens ribosome structure lays the groundwork for studying newly reported rRNA modifications and identifying parasite-specific vulnerabilities for therapeutic intervention.
