New OA Article: "The Arabidopsis U1 snRNP regulates mRNA 3′-end processing" rdcu.be/dU3nb A plant U1 snRNP complex associates with 200 proteins and conducts splicing-independent roles by safeguarding RNAs against premature cleavage and polyadenylation (telescripting).

Congratulations to our very own Hang! An intriguing story from his M.Sc. work out now in Developmental Cell : cell.com/developmental-…

Very sorry to hear that Dr. Joanne Chory has passed away, she was a remarkable scientist who inspired so many 🌱

We did it, and started our Marie Curie Doctoral Network program #ModBioTerp. It's all about terpenoids and terpene synthases. You can follow us on modbioterp.univ-st-etienne.fr/fr/funding.html Thanks to the PIs for joining, and we look forward to start our students. Tomáš Pluskal and more.

New preprint out! "Dynamics of genetic circuits in Pseudomonas protegens". We used NOT logic gates and a novel mathematical approach to characterize P. protegens Pf-5 as a chassis for environmental #syntheticbiology biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

this overlap of outcomes and deadlines is bizarre and a massive waste of time for many

I’m thrilled to share this story from Joshua Mendell and Jan Erzberger labs, led by postdoc extraordinaire Xiaoqiang Zhu! We showed that in addition to their canonical decoding function, tRNAs play a key role in regulating mRNA stability during translation. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Very pleased to see this work out that identifies a code in C3 rice co-opted to allow C4 photosynthesis. doi.org/10.1038/s41586… Thanks to all involved but in particular Leonie Luginbuehl Joe Ecker Joseph Swift Great transatlantic partnership. Department of Plant Sciences

Can anyone point me to the best way to design a peptide/protein inhibitor of my favorite enzyme or transcription factor? I am aware of this paper but I do not know the field of protein design well, so any advice would be amazing. nature.com/articles/s4146…

📢 PhD Opportunity in my lab on Plant Immune Receptor Bioengineering at Imperial Life Sciences 🌱 Start: October 2025 📅 Deadline: 12th January 2025 🇬🇧 Open to UK students 💰 Fully funded ℹ️ More info: tinyurl.com/w6ap9v9f❗ #PlantImmunity #PlantPathology 🙏 Please share!

Postdocs do a lot of invisible labor in academia. The majority of which is helping PhD students. Many of us are happy to do it, but when students fail to acknowledge that help, especially in front of the PI, it kinda kills the vibe. Give people credit for their work.
