The Social Lives of Viruses Meeting, tropical edition, is starting in just a few days! #PuertoRico #SocialViruses #LoveVirology

Yesterday ironing out some last minute details with Asher Leeks over frituras and drinks. Today we kicked off with a fun mixer. Excited for the next couple of science-packed days! #PuertoRico #SocialViruses #LoveVirology

We're starting to recruit postdocs to work on this exciting ERC (now UKRI) project. Please get in touch if you would like to join us, or spread the word. #phosphatases #redox #Tcells Europe-SFRR The Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine EMBO YIP

Examining the evolution of the RNAi/piRNA pathways in vectors and different #virus infections is important. A small paper in Insect Molecular Biology examines the siRNA response in sandfly cells against the flock house virus. resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/im…

Ecstatic to share the peer-reviewed version of our manuscript revealing how the human coronavirus HKU1 recognizes the TMPRSS2 host receptor! Led by Matthew McCallum & Young-jun Park HHMI UW Biochemistry cell.com/cell/fulltext/… 1/2

JOB: Advance our understanding of the epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) at regional and global scales. Apply for the role of Postdoctoral Scientist ➡️ow.ly/wWrJ50SvsbN

New study just out in Molecular Cell by Eric J Wagner and Liang Tong using #ClickSeq for RNAseq/gene expression analysis: "Cytoplasmic binding partners of the Integrator endonuclease INTS11 and its paralog CPSF73 are required for their nuclear function" cell.com/molecular-cell…

A new manuscript from the lab by graduate student Lindsey Soles 🌻 ! 🧵 A nuclear RNA degradation code for eukaryotic transcriptome surveillance biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our latest manuscript on virus maturation! We've successfully solved the structures of five intermediates in the NωV maturation process and unraveled the intricate structural reorganization required for infection. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Meet #TEDxNE Mind+Life conference speaker Asher Leeks! Asher is an incoming assistant professor of evolutionary biology at the University of British Columbia who studies social evolution in viruses. Asher will speak during conference session 2: LIFE at our inaugural event on 9/25: bit.ly/3Aw8ABy

ClickSeq, Poly(A)-ClickSeq and X-ClickSeq kits are now available! At ClickSeq Technologies, we are delighted to be working with baseclick (baseclick.eu) to bring #ClickSeq kits to the broader market! clickseqtechnologies.com/kits ClickSeq: random-primed, fragmentation-free

My department is hiring a tenure-track faculty focusing on RNA biology! UC Irvine has a large, vibrant and super supportive RNA community! Come join us! recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09320

A new preprint from our collaboration with Andrew Routh on #sarscov2 recombination. Led by Tommy Yiyang Zhou & Yani, we found that SARS2 is more recombinogenic than other human CoV. We also find a key role for NSP15 EndoU activity in shaping recombination. tinyurl.com/23a9vwvb

1st preprint of 2025: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…. Now you can use "PT-ClickSeq" to sequence viral particles directly without RNA extraction! We demonstrate that FHV genome release in a programed step-wise fashion! ClickSeq Technologies Andrew Routh
