Sometimes life just aligns…

Using information from 7,350 journals, the average APC reported worldwide was $1,235.51 ($0.01 to $8,900.00). One APC was removed from analysis as an extreme outlier ($15,584,416.00 USD). What journal was this???

@cmvm-edinburghuni.bsky.social

📢 Excited to share our new study in Nature Communications!
We show that the A-C linker safeguards centriole architecture & controls duplication. A big congratulations to Lorène for this beautiful discovery, which represents 4 years of her thesis work.

Cryo-EM structure of human telomerase dimer reveals H/ACA RNP-mediated dimerization Telomerase ribonucleoprotein (RNP) synthesizes telomeric repeats at chromosome ends using a telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and a telomerase RNA (hTR in humans). Previous structural work showe...

Proud to share our work where we resolved a longstanding question regarding the existence of a human telomerase dimer and provided insights into its function. Led by 3 amazing lab members in collaboration with @yiliangding.bsky.social and @rdaslab.bsky.social.

New paper:
More than 2700 human 3′UTRs are highly conserved. These 3′UTRs are essential components in mRNA templates, as their deletion decreases protein activity without changing protein abundance. Highly conserved 3′UTRs help the folding of proteins with long IDRs.

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨 Most variant screens measure growth or abundance. What do they miss? That variants impact a spectrum of protein and cellular phenotypes. Variant in situ sequencing (VIS-seq) finds what’s missing: image cells 🔬 first, decode later, revealing multi-scale phenotypes for thousands of variants.👇

Thank you Steffi and Veselin.

Sorry Jeremy… ‘eyes on the horizon’ type bravado but this must be so difficult to palate.

Always- maple magic…

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦 to those who celebrate- we did beignettes a la Tim Horton for breakfast, and big BBQ this evening after a bodysurfing session. #ElbowsOut identity worth fighting for…

Congratulations Monica- looking forward to more amazing science and great research culture under your leadership! 👏👏👏
