Come and join us at the third instalment of the Argonaute meeting in Prague!
The Argonautes 2025 are in their infancy but moving ahead! The organizers (@farmgirlphd, @DinaGrohmann, @MeisterLab + me) started to shape the program and the meeting website. Mark your calendars, spread the word: 27.-30.8.2025 @imgprague in Prague, Czechia.

🔥New paper! 🔥
Distribution of bacterial DNA repair proteins and their co-occurrence with immune systems (cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…)
It started with a simple question: Are certain prokaryotic immune systems always (or never) encoded with specific DNA repair proteins?...

Looking for a sabbatical? Why not in Prague? Dozens of different institutes of the Academy of Sciences & the oldest university north of Alps ... unexpected concentration of nerds & equipment ... unprecedented safety ... beautiful towns & landscape ... Bohemian hobbiton around ...
Thanks Johannes for setting this up!! Making it much easier to leave X and to not loose the Biophys community! See you all on Bluesky!

Latest from the lab, finally out in @MolecularCell . Here we show a physical and functional link between the Microprocessor and a variant NEXT complex. Together, these complexes degrade the 5' flanks of pre-miRNAs and other stem-loop-containing RNAs.

Remembering the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie.
Curie was born #OnThisDay in 1867.
When do you ever get the chance to integrate yourself into an operon?? When you got invited by the fantastic @Sveta_Dodonova to @embl Heidelberg ☺️. Impressive and just a perfect day meeting archaeal and RNA polymerase friends. Thank you Svetlana & Team!!!

Delighted to share our latest publication in @NatureMicrobiol - a dream of mine, symbolized by the purple line, that has now become a reality.
Discovery of a very widespread mobile island which play a crucial role in bacterial survival and competition.
