Excited to share my first PhD student’s @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social!

Tracking 5 dyes simultaneously Kavan Gor @embl.org tracks nascent #RNA folding during #ribosome assembly to correlate structural with functional information on single RNA molecules!

Check it out!

Or DM for more!

Enjoy it while it lasts

Nucleotide dependency analysis of genomic language models detects functional elements - Nature Genetics Mapping pairwise nucleotide dependencies by leveraging genomic language models highlights functional genomic elements and predicts deleterious genetic variants more effectively than alignment-based conservation metrics.

So excited to see this out in @natgenet.nature.com! An amazing collaboration with @gagneurlab.bsky.social, I am happy I was (a small) part of. Nucleotide dependencies can capture regulatory elements, including #RNA structures! Congrats to the whole team! Check it out: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Two group leader positions available in the broader areas of RNA science, RNA technologies, and RNA medicine. Attractive packages and a great environment. Come and join us at Helmholtz RNA Würzburg, Bavaria.

We are hiring a PhD student!!
The project starts as early as January 2026 and is fully funded for three years.
Everyone with interest in NMR-centered structural biochemistry of nucleic acid-protein interactions in virus-infected cells, get in contact!

RNA is far more than a messenger.

Its structures regulate, evolve, and catalyze — carrying out functions DNA alone cannot.

But predicting #RNA structure from sequence is still extremely difficult.

In our recently published paper in @narjournal.bsky.social we present a way forward.
