Excited to share that our paper cell.com/molecular-cell… got the cover of the new issue of Molecular Cell. Extra cool that this is a photograph taken by the first author Nancy De La Cruz, a super-star research assistant and post-bacc who just started grad school UTSW Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences

Goes straight to the top of the "to read" pile– MAYEX is an old long noncoding RNA recruited for X chromosome dosage compensation in a reptile | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… (MAYEX seems to be syntenic with TUG1, a rather famous mammalian lncRNA, yet TUG1 isn't mentioned?)

Somehow feeling in old Twitter mood, so sharing some analysis results obtained just yesterday. Lately, we experimented a lot with synthetic condensation surfaces, X-motifs can condense on them below Csat. Surprise: above Csat, the surfaces link droplets into a "meta-network"!

Lab evolution experiment leads to discovery of Arg-to-His mutation that is essential for adapting in pH fluctuating environments. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

The abstract submission deadline of our conference on biomolecular condensates is approaching fast! Sign-up before Oct. 1st to be considered for a short talk and secure one of the limited seats! events.au.dk/biomolecular-c…

Nominations for the 2025 Weintraub Award are now open! Celebrate the achievements of an outstanding graduate student in biology by nominating them here: fredhutch.org/en/research/di…

Our paper was published in nature. We discovered a new aspect of the meiotic homolog pairing process named Rapid Homolog Juxtaposition (RHJ). During RHJ, homologous loci undergo spatial juxtaposition from far apart to very close together in a short time. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share a new preprint! (1)🔬The nucleolus is the most prominent nuclear condensate, with a fascinating multilayered liquid-like structure, and is the site of ribosome biogenesis. But how does this multiphase architecture form and function? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

(1/n) Are you ready to plunge into depths of our oceans with us! This is the story of “hidden comet tails” & our discovery of how a crucial biological process across our planet can put brakes on carbon capture in our oceans. Latest in Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Delighted to share our latest work on #Ovulation, now published in Nature Cell Biology! 🎉 Grateful to my teammates Tabea Marx and Sarah Penir in Schuh Lab at MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences for excellent teamwork. 🙌 Dive into the details here 👇 #Ovary #Egg #Reproduction #CellBiology #Fertility

New paper in Science Advances: We've uncovered the nuclear speckle transcriptome, revealing gene groups with distinct speckle localization properties and that speckles boost splicing for localized transcripts. Thanks to all co-authors! Oded Regev science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share my first paper as a postdoc with Georg Hochberg Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology! We've made some fascinating discoveries about the evolution of animal stem cells in colab with Ralf Jauch and Alex de Mendoza. 🧬🔬 Link: nature.com/articles/s4146… (1/n)

@arnaud_kr and I have been talking about organizing a single-molecule genomics meeting for years! We're excited to do so at EMBL while bridging the fields of single-molecule genomics and microscopy with our co-organizers. Hope to see you there July 15-18 embl.org/about/info/cou…

Our perspective on Hsp90 as a global modifier of the genotype-phenotype-fitness map and its implications for evolution in nature and the clinic is now out in JMB! We review the literature, identify open questions, and share new analyses. authors.elsevier.com/c/1k60q54HFVZoH

The Proteostasis Group at UNCC are excited to announce the Rising Stars in Proteostasis seminar series! This is open to postdoctoral researchers in the US. We have funds to pay for travel costs. If you are interested, please complete the google form here: forms.gle/4trb6pe4HraGUz…

My first first-author paper is out! It was an amazing collaborative effort with a lot of amazing people including Arvind S Pillai and JoeThornton. Please read if you like things involving evolution and biochemistry. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Great article (in which I am quoted) about biomolecular condensates—in my field of cellular stress responses, “the revolution we have been waiting for.” Many thanks to author Philip Ball for going deep. scientificamerican.com/article/myster…
