OUT NOW A self-transmissible plasmid from a hyperthermophile that facilitates genetic modification of diverse Archaea Read it here: rdcu.be/ddS8i nature.com/articles/s4156…

Nanopore-based RNA sequencing deciphers the formation, processing, and modification steps of rRNA intermediates in Archaea. #Nanopore #Microbiology #Archaea bit.ly/3OV4lED

Check out our new preprint, where we started off building a statistical model to investigate the effects of RBPs on RNA stability, and ended up finding out that average RNA half-life in bacteria is less than a minute -- less than 1/3 of previous estimates biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The #ViennaRNA Package 2.6 is here with awesome updates💥 Salt corrections for mono-valent cations & support for modified bases like pseudouridine. BTW, our #Python interface comes with all-new, nice & clean documentation. 🐍📖tbi.univie.ac.at/RNA/ #RNA #ComputationalBiology

Working with my physicist colleagues at the Universität Regensburg is a privilege and a lot of fun. The Franz J. Giessibl pushed their high-end qPlus sensor AFM technique to image archaeal S-layers ... here is the result 😍arxiv.org/abs/2307.07052 (just accepted in JPCB). Daniela Tarau

🔥Heat shock response in #Sulfolobus🔥 👉In this new #mbio paper we combine omics-experiments to shed light on underlying regulatory mechanisms! It was a great collaboration between MICR Research Group - VUB, SFC_Lab, Dina Grohmann, Felix Grünberger,...! journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11… @fwo VUB

Thrilled to have been part of this exciting journey investigating the heat shock response in Sulfolobus🔥, now published in #mBio! Really enjoyed diving into data analysis discussions for this story with Rani Baes! Congrats!

Recently, we published two stories that add some new data to our understanding of archaeal transcription, e.g. insights into transcription termination, regulation of archaeellum operon expression by EarA and co-transcriptional binding of SmAP. Short🧵with some key findings...

Structural basis of archaeal RNA polymerase transcription elongation and Spt4/5 recruitment biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Happy new year and happy new pre-print biorxiv.org/content/10.110… with cryo-EM structures of the archaeal RNA polymerase in its apo state and during elongation w/ and w/o Spt4/5 featuring some distinct archaeal features. #Archaea #cryoEM #transcription Some key findings 🧵

I never imagined that there would be a paper from my lab titled "The structural basis of ..." but first author Daniela Tarau and the very collaborative archaeal RNA polymerase made it work 😀. Read it here: academic.oup.com/nar/article/do…. Thank you also to our partners Engel Lab 🤝!

Do you want to publish your genomes to SeqCode ? Maybe my #Snakemake pipeline could be of interest to you! It quickly lets you check if your assemblies reach the required criteria and gives you an easy to read report like this as an output 🙂 github.com/richardstoeckl…
