IMOD models, eLab/paper notes, "that feature in that one tomo"... keeping track across 1000s of #CryoET tomograms was hard! TOMATO puts tomos and notes in one place. Combine it with LLMs and it's an awesome base for building more: morphometrics, contactomes, anything turning visuals into numbers! 🥳😍

Releasing TOMATO, the TOMogram Annotation TOol! A lightweight Python GUI for going through hundreds of cryo-ET tomograms. Flag what's in each one, grade its quality, and end up with a table you can filter and act on. github.com/alkemasimon/...

A wild publishing ride to get here... but finally! (first bioRxiv: January 5th, 2024 🙃) Amazing work from @lorenzlamm.bsky.social and colleagues 🤗 Special thanks to the community who jumped early on the boat, sharing feedback and training data to make MemBrain v2 a reality 🙏🏽

Super cool cryo-ET work from my colleague Xiaohan resolving a ton of ribosome assembly intermediates in the nuclei of human cells!

Excited to share our new preprint! 🧬❄️ by brilliant @mdreimann.bsky.social and great collaborators! Using cryo-ET&EM, we reveal archaeal chromatin in a near-native state: variable-beads-on-a-string fibers shaped by growth phase and histone composition #ArchaeaSky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

SNOR promotes translation restart after dormancy - Nature
High-resolution in situ cryo-electron tomography in Schizosaccharomyces pombe identifies SNOR protein, which binds to ribosomes during dormancy induced by glucose depletion, priming them for rapid reactivation of protein synthesis upon glucose repletion.

Thrilled to share the updated video of my paper in Nature with Maciej (under supervision of @simonemattei.bsky.social & @jomaalab.bsky.social) Proud to use Cryo-ET to uncover how hibernation factors are key to translation restart! To model PTMs in situ and render animations fulfilled my PhD dream!🥹🎉

New preprint🧊🔬Introducing LowDoseWizard—a guided SerialEM workflow for rapid, standardised cryo-TEM setup! Setting up low-dose can be slow & daunting, especially for new users. LowDoseWizard automates optics, camera, and alignment steps from minimal input — full setup in <15 min. #cryoEM #SerialEM

Excited to share our work uncovering SNOR, a ribosome-associated factor that promotes translation restart after dormancy published in Nature!! This was, as usual, a wonderful collaborative effort between our group and the Mattei Lab @simonemattei.bsky.social @embl.org www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Really happy to share my 1st first-author work during my PhD @embl.org co-leading with Maciek! 🥳 A serendipitous project shaped with a lot of curiosity and “coffee” (no hibernation😅) I’m really proud of the story we built together! 😊 Excited to share the final version soon with even cooler results 🤩
