We have two postdoc positions available (funded for 3 years by Volkswagen Momentum) for research related to the de novo evolution of (i) bacterial anti-CRISPR activities and (ii) archaeal tRNA gene introns. Please feel free to share or apply: stellenangebote.uni-marburg.de/jobposting/299…

Thank you for the detailled overview of this team effort and your hard work @patrick_pausch! If you want to see beautiful Type IV effector complexes in action, check out: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Happy to share our article, published today in NAR: academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar… Congrats to @mariana_sanlo24, @RandauLab, @ThanbichlerLab, Vicente & @royerht! Thank you so much for the nice work 🍀

"We're CRISPRn our way through the apocalypse". Details can be found at crispr-whisper.de/2024/08/20/die…. All events are free of charge. We look forward to seeing you in Marburg!

Happy to share our paper on archaeal mRNA caps and their processing in @NatureComms: rdcu.be/drIXx Thank you very much to our very helpful partners in the labs of @JaeschkeLab, @HoerferLab, Jörg Soppa and Nicole Paczia. @Bio_UM, @SYNMIKRO

Our lab has an open #Phdposition for students interested in RNA and Archaea: stellenangebote.uni-marburg.de/jobposting/58e… Please feel free to share if you know (or are :-)) a good candidate.

Do plasmids fight other plasmids? 🧵 So happy our preprint is out!💥And yes indeed, we uncover that type IV-A3 CRISPR-Cas targets other plasmids! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thank you for the organization. It was fun to learn about company perspectives.

When microbes have to resort to the more rigorous and diverse RNA targeting CRISPR-Cas strategies to buy time, go into dormancy or commit suicide to survive phage infection. Great work by Sam van Beljouw with graphical art by Alicia Rodríguez Molina. nature.com/articles/s4157…

📢Save the date: GBM and @BioPharmaCL_GER teamed up organizing a half-day event on "The World of RNA - Translation of Basic Research to #RNATherapeutics", Dec 1 at Stadthaus #Ulm. Lectures, panel discussion, career roundtable, networking - more details at world-of-rna.org

Thank you very much to @petergm24 lab and everybody involved! If you would like to read about how Type IV #CRISPR regulates host gene expression @NatureMicrobiol, please feel free to follow this SharedIt link: rdcu.be/cWBfW

can’t wait to review abstracts for @crispr2022 soon! we have lots of short talks available, so be sure to submit your abstract by next Friday to be considered for a talk! more info and registration at crispr2022.bio

Great story and we were happy to help a bit with the snoRNA-seq part: Emergence of the primordial pre-60S from the 90S pre-ribosome: Cell Reports #relatedArticles" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Thank you to everybody involved and for all the help from @GBM_eV. It was a really fun and productive meeting! I noticed that we are the only lab lacking any Twitter connections and took this as a hint to finally join in.
