TransitID is out today in Cell! This is a proximity labeling method for unbiased discovery of endogenous proteins that traffick from a defined “source” location to a defined “destination” location. TransitID uses sequential labeling by TurboID in the source, followed by a chase

Proud to announce our Arabidopsis ORFeome paper has been published in The Plant Cell! We systematically uncovered > 7K novel translation events and found many important genes are regulated by uORFs. Larry Wu @JustinWWalley academic.oup.com/plcell/advance…

Very excited to see this review out in the world! 🥳 We overview collective mitochondrial dynamics and their drivers (in plants), delving into the cellular priorities this 'societal network' can address, to the translation aspects of this behaviour, as Iain Johnston describes ⬇️

So happy our paper is out! It was a great experience and thanks to everyone (especially Rebecca Roston ) who made it a success 🎉 if you want to learn more about TAG accumulation in high and low temps, give our work a read! UNL PSI Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources Nebraska Biochem

Biotechnology is now central to national security, and the U.S. must act fast to maintain its edge. A CNAS report warns that China’s strategic investment in biotech, from synthetic biology to pharmaceutical supply chains, puts American leadership at risk without urgent policy and
