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.

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...

OK but stamps are also sold as one giant perforated unit. Yet a stamp is a single serving. If the perforation don’t fit, you must acquit

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.

Rubisco enzyme is responsible for capturing CO2 from the atmosphere, crucial for photosynthesis. Recent research has mapped mutant Rubisco molecules which could revolutionize plant CO2 assimilation & adapt to future climates

Exactly right. There is no functional difference between a 10% and a 20% grant. It’s a lottery. Speculation, but I bet 30%-40% science is outstanding too…
