Our latest preprint is now online bioRxiv! Great team effort with Laura Arribas-Hernández and the Peter Brodersen lab to unravel the principles of mRNA recognition and regulation by the Arabidopsis YTH-domain proteins ECT2 and ECT3. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our symposium covers the recent exciting advances in the RNA structure field. Please retweet!

Join Elisabeth Fitzek and me for the first DBG Hot Topic workshop focusing on RNA in plants! The workshop will take place Bielefeld University in person and online. Register now at dbghottopic2021.com Attendance is free thanks to funding from Deutsche Botanische Gesellschaft (DBG) #DBGHotTop2021

Congratulations to our postdoc Marlene Reichel for receiving the The RNA Society poster award - well done!

📢UPDATE: due to the current development of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are changing the format to ONLINE ONLY! Registration is still open until September 10th.

📢One week left to register for our plant RNA meeting taking place in November (online)! Spots for talks are still available, so check out the details below and sign up! #DGBHotTop2021 Deutsche Botanische Gesellschaft (DBG) Elisabeth Fitzek

Thanks to all who funded the Iso-seq, develop new analysis methods and make AtRTD3 to (re)analyse RNA-seq data (use 3D RNA-seq)! A high resolution single molecule sequencing-based Arabidopsis transcriptome using novel methods of Iso-seq analysis | bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A new Arabidopsis reference transcriptome containing over 160k transcripts - twice as many as the best current transcriptome and more than 1,500 novel genes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hurry up early career scientists to present your #plantsci research at DBG’s Hot Topic Workshop “Emerging new RNA techniques to unravel transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation in plants on a global scale” ➡️Deadline is 10 Sept #DBGHotTop2021. Please RT!

Save the date! Our next German Society for Plant Sciences (DBG) International Conference will take place in Bonn 28 Aug - 1 Sept 2022. Botanik-Tagung. #BT2022DBG

Please RT: we are recruiting (again)! We're looking for a post-doc interested in working with Oxford Nanopore sequencing and RNA methylation UoD Life Sciences, Scotland. Ability to make Arabidopsis-inspired cakes & muffins desirable, but not essential 😉

Our latest paper is now online eLife - the journal! In this study led by Laura Arribas-Hernández, we unravel the principles of mRNA targeting via the Arabidopsis m6A-binding protein ECT2. Great team effort with Tino Köster Dr. Martin Lewinski and the Peter Brodersen lab! 👉 elifesciences.org/articles/72375

The preliminary schedule is out. Congratulations to all accepted speakers. Please check out dbghottopic2021.com for detailed information. November 18th & 19th are packed with exciting talks focusing on RNA in plants Marlene Reichel #DBGHotTop2021

Drei Wissenschaftlerinnen mit Know-how zum Innenleben der Pflanzen: Dr. Julieta Mateos, Dr. Yamila Agrofoglio und Dr. Marlene Reichel forschen als Stipendiatinnen der Humboldt-Stiftung an der Bielefeld University in der Arbeitsgruppe von Prof'in Dr. Dorothee Staiger: bit.ly/3mZErQA

Interested in plant circadian networks? Our book with cutting-edge methods and protocols has just been published and is available here 👉 link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

📢Save the date: 34th #GBMLunch on Nov 3rd, Detlef Weigel @PlantEvolution on “A mutation is a mutation is a mutation”, followed by discussion on #CRISPR/Cas for #plantbreeding and EU legislation on GMOs; more information and registration at gbm-online.de/gbm-lunch.html

Reminder! Registration is possible until Tuesday, Nov 2, at noon

Amazing first day with inspiring talks on small RNAs, RNA structure, RNA modifications and RNA-protein interactions! Thanks to all the speakers! Looking forward to tomorrow! Elisabeth Fitzek Deutsche Botanische Gesellschaft (DBG)

This workshop was exquisite! Thanks to the organizers Elisabeth Fitzek and Marlene Reichel ♥️ Thanks to Dr. Martin Lewinski for the technical support. #DBGHotTop2021

A fantastic meeting is coming to an end - thanks again to all the chairs and all the speakers for excellent and inspiring talks! I thoroughly enjoyed the last two days and hope to see you all in person sometime soon Elisabeth Fitzek German Society for Plant Sciences (DBG) #DBGHotTop2021
