We found no signs of DNA incorporation for #HEK293 cells ✅ EU only in RNA @mchatzigeorgiou.bsky.social #Drosophila wing disc ✅ EU only in RNA Katherine L. P. Downham & Fergal O'Farrell Thanks also to @prhsteinmetz.bsky.social for encouraging us to follow the 🐇!

So excited to see @malinkjosavik.bsky.social beautiful work out @bmc.springernature.com 🤩! Check it out to see where the RNA-label ✨EU✨ shows up in our favourite sea anemone and how to catch your organism crafting DNA from RNA labelling tools 🧬👀. #transcription

1/3 I am very excited to tell you about our latest work where we looked not only into sea anemones but also 🪸 We find in #Nematostella that stress induces not immunity, but also viral replication, actually much faster than the immune response! 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Heat stress drives rapid viral and antiviral innate immunity activation in Hexacorallia

The cnidarian class Hexacorallia, encompassing stony corals and sea anemones, plays a critical role in marine ecosystems. Coral bleaching, the disruption of the symbiosis between stony corals and zoox...

Happy to share that the Gahan lab will be branching out (or more like returning) to working on Nematostella in the near future. Details will follow but for now if anyone is interested in doing a Postdoc or PhD in 2025 on chromatin in Nematostella drop me a message :)
