🔥RNA-guided RNA silencing by an Asgard archaeal Argonaute 🔥 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In this multidisciplinary study, we uncover that a prokaryotic Argonaute found in Asgard archaea mediates RNA-guided RNA silencing!

I am happy to share our story on RNA-guided RNA silencing by an Asgard archaeal Argonaute 🥳 It was a pleasure to be part of such a synergistic collaboration! Check out Fabai's thread below for an overview of the highlights.

Enjoying the first day of #BPS2024 ! If you are interested in a journey through sequence space, attend my talk on Wednesday at 13:00 in Room 113AB :)

My printed PhD thesis arrived today😊 For now enjoying how the cover turned out and looking forward to discussing the contents on July 10th!

It's a pleasure to see this team effort on a prokaryotic RNA-guided RNA-silencing Argonaute out today Nature Communications 😊 Please check out Fabai's post for an overview of this story's highlights!

🧬 Revealing DNA behaviour in record time⏱️It is now possible to measure millions of #DNA molecules within a week instead of years to decades, thanks to a new #technology now published in Science Magazine 👉 edu.nl/7utcj Carolien Bastiaanssen #singlemolecule #sequencing

Here we go again 👉🏻 #SMLMS2024 in Lisboa. Looking forward to 3 exciting days of great science. Thank you Ricardo Henriques @MicrobeMatos for making this happen 🙏 Single Molecule Localization Microscopy Symposium

Nice talk from Lisboa with Jonas Ries #SMLMS2024 presenting super-resolution microscopy implemented to study dynamics in cell biology.

Door analyse aan DNA-moleculen kunnen onderzoekers genetische aandoeningen beter begrijpen - van belang voor gepersonaliseerde geneeskunde en gentherapieën. Een nieuwe methode van TU Delft en Universiteit Leiden maakt die analyse zo'n duizend keer sneller. deingenieur.nl/artikel/snelle…

A 1,000,000th reminder the crucial importance of basic research. Ambros and Ruvkun were looking into understanding nematode genetics and development, not looking for a drug, and ended up opening an entire new area in biology
