Ancient Viral DNA Shapes Early Embryo Development Researchers at #HelmholtzMunich & Universität München have uncovered the crucial role of transposable elements— ancient viral #DNA remnants— in early embryo development: 👉t1p.de/pb7sc Key insights: 🌟Ancient viral DNA,

Our letter-to-the-editor providing evidence that ARK2N is not a core factor in transcription-coupled DNA repair is now online in PNAS! Well done Janne van Schie and Sem Brussee. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Our paper on Stopless-ORF Circular RNAs (socRNAs) is now out in Cell. By high-res tracking and comparing translation by either single or multiple ribosomes, we find that ribosomes cooperate to overcome pausing to ensure fast and efficient translation cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
