#hugthebox time in Geneva! Looking forward to collect data with the F4i+Selectris X filter! Thank you for all the support Université de Genève UNIGE_en and SNSF Swiss National Science Foundation and everyone else. This will make such a big difference for the Structural Biology community in Geneva (Lac Leman). 🏆

Transposons, or “jumping genes” – DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell researchers have discovered a new mechanism these genes use to survive and propagate in

In eukaryotes, some transposons target telomeres; in Drosophila, they even replace them. Peters lab and Barabas group show that bacteria with linear genomes also harbor diverse telomeric transposons. doi.org/10.1126/scienc… Joseph E. Peters Barabas group

A thread from the Postdoc who led the work on bacterial Telomeric transposons. A wonderful collaboration with the Barabas lab. Officially out in the journal today!
