Paper out today: “RNA-guided RNA Silencing by an Asgard archaeal Argonaute”. A wonderful, multidisciplinary project co-led with @DCSwarts @ChirlminJoo_Lab, spearheaded by @C_Bastiaanssen @pilar_bobadilla @k1jun_ @FinocchioGiada & Yanlei Feng. nature.com/articles/s4146… @NatureComms

We're thrilled to share our new preprint: "Evolutionarily Conserved Principles of ESCRT-III-Mediated Membrane Remodeling Revealed by a Two-Subunit Asgard Archaeal System." biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I hope you enjoy the read! This work represents a very collaborative effort, so a big thank you to all co-authors: @ERR_Moody, Tomo Hatano, @SPOREMOHAN @tweethinking . Special thanks to our awesome PIs: @RouxLab @BaumBuzz @lab_baum

@ERR_Moody @SPOREMOHAN @tweethinking @RouxLab @BaumBuzz @lab_baum The best part of this project has been collaborating with outstanding scientists and friends @jespadas91 and @sami_chaaban , who are co-first authors of the paper. They led many of the experiments described above and worked tirelessly!
