Super excited to share our latest work on the bacterial Tol-Pal complex by the brilliant Wee Boon! We can (finally) confidently assign the true function of Tol-Pal in maintaining OM lipid homeostasis, independent of its role in cell division! Here's how Wee Boon did it 👇 1/7

Hello, my absolutely lovely membrane peeps! Would you maybe, pretty-please, let me proudly steer you to a MINI-REVIEW I recently wrote? It’s on asymmetric membranes in general, and differential stress in particular—subjects that I am massively interested in right now! 1/26

Excited to share our new paper in Molecular Cell! We’ve developed TurboCas, a powerful new CRISPR-based proximity labeling tool that lets us pinpoint the proteins regulating gene expression at specific genomic loci. Check out what we discovered: cell.com/molecular-cell…

1/ Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is the first step in any data analysis journey. When working with RNA-seq data, one of the most commonly used techniques is Principal Component Analysis (PCA). But what exactly is PCA, and why does it matter? Let’s break it down. 🧵👇
