So happy to share that our project ANATOXIC was awarded the iGEM Impact Grant! Big thank you to the commission for choosing us. Looking forward to continue our work #igem #synbio

🚨Fraud Alert!🚨 Several researchers have received phishing emails from scammers posing as editors from Nature Biotechnology. Be careful and stay alert for such scams.

So relieving when after multiple attempts, you finally get an elation peak for you protein 🥳 #igem #purification #imac

Tina Termini We love this idea! Here's some more Twitter wisdom:

During the last weeks, thousands of aquatic animals were found dead in the Oder river. Now it is most likely proven that the reason for their death was a bloom of algae that release toxic secondary metabolites. [Article in German] igb-berlin.de/news/verdacht-…

Today, we are moving to make America's federally funded research freely accessible to the American public without delay. These changes will save lives & spur innovation in clean energy, cancer breakthroughs, environmental justice, and more. Learn more ⤵️whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

We have included the full EMBL-EBI @DeepMind AlphaFold/UniProt protein sequence database (alphafold_uniprot) and a filtered version of it (alphafold_uniprot50) as target databases for PSI-BLAST, HMMER, and PatternSearch.

If like me you've run hundreds of minipreps but never bothered to read up on why they extract plasmid but not chromosomal DNA, a recent tweet by @joel_rosenbaum finally motivated me to look it up. From Biennium and Doly 1979:

Spending 4 hours reading 8 papers to write 1 sentence.

Big thanks to Greiner Bio One for sponsoring us with some of their best 96-well plates suitable for measuring fluorescence and absorption. Can’t wait to test our constructs with them ! @GreinerBioOneUK GreinerBioOneAT

So happy to see our project printed in the current BIOspektrum alongside those of iGEM Team Aachen iGEM Münster iGEM Duesseldorf 2024 iGEM Bochum iGem Frankfurt iGEM Braunschweig Looking forward to see more of you in 6 weeks in Paris

Congratulations to #Svante Pääbo, director @ the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology MPI-EVA Leipzig on winning this year's #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine! 🙃😁🙃😃🤗 😃🤗🍾🍾🤗🍾🤗🙃

About 10 years ago we had a crazy idea to put all the tRNA genes in the yeast genome onto a synthetic Neochromosome, and today we are able finally share with the world about this adventure. Manchester Institute of Biotechnology The University of Manchester

The Tar and PctA model chemoreceptors bind their ligands over 7.5 and 8.5 pH units, respectively. Similarly stunning pH robustness is observed for many other extracytosolic sensor domains. Work by Elizabet Monteagudo Cascales et al., BLAST Meetings, @chemotaxisrss journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.11…

The #WikiFreeze Review period starts now, and lasts for 24 hours. This year, due to the new and major changes to our web infrastructure and systems, we have created a Review Period for teams to fix any last mistakes. See the announcement here: bit.ly/3SaXyoF
