I couldn’t be prouder of my team! Kavya and Sebastian both won DOC fellowships from the Austrian Academy of Sciences!
Congratulations to all awardees!
We found a new asymmetry in the large-scale chromosome structure: sister chromatids are systematically shifted by hundreds of kb in the 5′→3′ direction of their inherited strands! The work was led by Flavia Corsi, in close collaboration with the Daniel Gerlich lab.

Hello everyone! I am pleased to share information on the first ever Computational Structural Virology Symposium, conducted August 4th on zoom and highlighting work in this emerging field. You can register for this event here: forms.gle/CNiqskMwQEuV.... Please re-post!
Congratulations Shira & team!
If you love #viruses, #ribosomes, and genomic #darkmatter, this thread is for you!! 💫
We're excited to share our new publication developing Massively Parallel Ribosome Profiling (MPRP), which uncovered ~4,000 hidden proteins in ~700 viral genomes. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Hi 🦋 I’m thrilled to share that our #bat #organoid work has found a publishing home in Nature Immunology!
These models provided unprecedented insight into antiviral immunity at epithelial surfaces of the Egyptian fruit bat 🦇 — a natural reservoir of Marburg virus 🦠

Dear @nature.com publishing group:
We swallowed your $12k article processing charge, but the name of your new journal is too much…
Drosophila follicle showing retrotransposons (pink & yellow) expressed in somatic cells infecting the oocyte
1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬
But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯
Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells.

A short thread 🧵👇
Agarose/sepharose doesn't work as affinity resin base for large organelle cargo, only smooth magnetic particles do, limiting the selection of commercial reagents. Nanobodies would have been nice because they generate less background during on-bead digest. Ultimately we went back to square 1: HA.
Earlier papers that IPed organelles had already used HA, so this was our starting point. We tried a panel of other tags, hoping to find a better one for which commercial nanobody-conjugated magnetic affinity beads were available. TL;DR: we didn't find a better one.
Our Spring call is now open with over 25+ fully funded positions in various disciplines in the life sciences. Interested? Check out our vacancies and the exciting projects being offered here: www.vbcphd.at
