piRNAs are essential for transposon silencing in the animal germline.
But how do hosts trap transposon sequences in genomic loci that help establish a piRNA response?
Looking at a natural transposon invasion, Baptiste Rafanel and Kirsten Senti made some remarkable observations.

Post-Translational Modifications Remodel Proteome-Wide Ligandability
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) vastly expand the diversity of human proteome, dynamically reshaping protein activity, interactions, and localization in response to environmental, pharmacologi...
Excited to share a new preprint from the lab. We show that PTMs like phosphorylation & glycosylation dynamically reshape proteome-wide ligandability in cells, including proteins like KRAS. Great collaboration with the Huang Lab, @forlilab.bsky.social and BMS. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

1/3 New preprint led by Shanshan Wang, in collaboration with the Timmermans lab.
Several groups have presented sc/snRNA-seq analyses of Arabidopsis leaves after bacterial infection before. Is there anything left to discover? Turns out: Yes.

A single-cell multi-omics atlas of rice - Nature
A single-cell multi-omics atlas of rice is revealed, providing insight into cell-type functions and molecular programs.
An @nature paper presents a single-cell multi-omics atlas of eight rice organs. Insights emerging from this resource include new cell states during rice development and correlations between cell type and agronomic traits.
