What an honor. Look at all these other people!! Congrats to all (and see you in October!?). I wanna thank all mentors, lab-members and collaborators for making this possible. Science is a community effort, and I love it @fbm-unil.bsky.social @mpi-cbg.de @schierlab.bsky.social

Thanks for the shoot-out @zebrafishrock.bsky.social! This beautiful work by the Hnisz lab characterized a micropeptide (killswitch) and used it to probe condensates. This opens the door to assess the function of condensates and @shivalidongre.bsky.social did just that in our beloved fish embryo.

The role of transcription bodies in gene expression: what embryos teach us Transcription does not occur diffusely throughout the nucleus but is concentrated in specific areas. Areas of accumulated transcriptional machinery have been called clusters, hubs, or condensates, whi...

Martino Ugolini and I wrote a review on how useful embryos are to understand the role of transcription bodies in gene expression. I am sure
@mirlab.bsky.social, @harrisonflylab.bsky.social, @lennarthilbert.bsky.social and others would agree. Enjoy the read! portlandpress.com/biochemsoctr....

Calling on all RNA lovers! We are searching for phase-lock tubes to separate organic and aqueous phases during phenol:chloroform extractions of RNA because QIAGEN has discontinued the MaXtract tubes that we used to use. All input will be gratefully received! @doragrbavac.bsky.social
