A teaser for our new preprint that will be available soon!!! Pol III, RNA modifications, tRNAs, viruses, and of course, nanopores

Love it when you read a review that completely unlocks a new field of biology that you are working in.

Nice to see the communities of RNA biologists and herpesvirologists are growing on here. Now we just need more nanopore people!

The HZI will hire up to twenty (20!) tenure-track research groups under the broad topic of "Microbial Stargazing" (🦠🌌). The first round of 4 positions is now open; the call closes on the 10th of December. Please share! www.helmholtz-hzi.de/en/career/jo...

Trying to write computational/sequencing focused paper that explores the biology of three very different viruses is proving a bigger challenge than I had anticipated...

Great to see this online and very happy to have contributed to this study led by Hannah Burgess (NYU & University of Surrey) and Ian Mohr (NYU)!!! www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... #is_there_anything_nanopores_cant_do

Very much looking forward to reading this, especially with coronaviruses in mind as a number of studies (inc one I contributed to) have reported varying levels of m6A to be present (validated by orthogonal methods) which remains counterintuitive in many ways...

The lab has just been awarded an 8-year grant to study coronavirus replication! 🍾🎉 Job ads will appear around end October but we are particularly looking for PDRAs with coronavirus reverse genetics experience or CL3 coronavirus-host interactions. ~Mar 2024 start.

Still recovering from the mini herpesvirus conference (+ assorted bugs the kids brought home from daycare) but still happily reflecting on what an interesting and fun day it was!!! Lots of thanks to go around but I would particularly highlight our two plenary speakers and our army of volunteers!

The 16th mini herpesvirus workshop is in full swing! Over 100 participants from 33 institutions across six countries. An excellent plenary talk from Hannah Burgess (University of Surrey) on the role of the CCR4-NOT complex in HCMV infections (that has just been accepted for publication)!

In honor of all the new peeps rebuilding science-social over here (thank goodness!), here's a super-cool new preprint from my old labmate Matt Taylor's group -- on single-cell analyses of HSV1, in neurons cultured in little droplets. Check it out! Matt's not yet on bluesky, but we'll get him here!
