Dear network, I am looking for a motivated PhD student to join us at the Institute of Molecular Biology in Mainz to study the role of the actin cytoskeleton in genome stability (DNA repair).
Please share! If you are interested, please contact me by email or dm for project details

Really cool work from @andy_utoronto! Converting metabolite abundance into barcode abundance with aptamers. Smol-seq is the best -seq!

Explore our tagging tools from the @Pelletierlab! They feature cassettes with mStayGold for bright and photostable endogenous fusions.
Now available on @Addgene: addgene.org/Laurence_Pelleti….

The @iubmb_trainee initiative does a lot of work for trainees in the molecular biosciences and puts on really great events. Make sure you check them out!
Plus their chair, Cathy Cozma, is also a member of our @CSMB_SCBM trainee committee!

My labmate's paper on a plasmid that boosts budding yeast sporulation efficiency (hence the name "pSPObooster") is out and I just really really wanted to make a cliche ad style tweet about it. I'm sorry. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Check out our latest paper on mistranslating tRNAs now out in @GeneticsGSA G3! It’s been so fun working with Moehring lab @FlyBehaviour to study mistranslation in flies.
Keep an eye out for our upcoming work diving into sex specific differences of mistranslating tRNAs 👀

New publication! What happens to gene expression when translation doesn't work perfectly? Is it the same in males and females? Amazing work by Dr. Joshua Isaacson, Dr. Matt Berg @matthewberg22, and Will Yeung!
Write me if you can't access the PDF!

These findings hopefully shed light on the role of SUMOylation in protein sequestration and place Btn2 at the center of triage decisions at INQ. This work could not be completed without the help and support of @pcstirling, X-less Veena Mathew, and the @StirlingLab (9/10)
