Delighted to have been part of this great work driven by Marketa Novotna in the Horn lab, showing the power of precision editing to study the direct role of histone modifications on gene expression regulation! 👌🏻

Happy to see this published in @FEBSJournal. We tried to shed some light on how Leishmania parasites use amino acids, particularly proline and glutamate, as energy sources doi.org/10.1111/febs.70030 @CruzKaysel58732 @fmrp_usp

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24… @PNASNews -> nature.com/articles/d41586-0… #ScienceCareer

Here, we found that virulence genes in non-syntenic trypanosomatid regions have lower nascent transcription than the rest of the genome.
