New cryo-EM data and an updated version of our pre-print with @SergeyVMelniko1. Our new aeRF1/Pelota-like ribosome hibernation factor, Balon, is delivered to the A-site by EF-Tu. It can protect both vacant AND translating ribosomes (P-site tRNA/mRNA) 🦠❄️https://t.co/sZB7u79mXw
Today @PedroSiPinheiro etal. present in @natBME a library of base editors #MitoKO to ablate all protein-coding genes in mouse mtDNA. #MitoKO will help generating new, clinically meaningful models for mechanistic, drug discovery and pre-clinical studies https://t.co/DkMWEZth1w 1/8
I'm recruiting a postdoc in structural/molecular biology to work on RNA, proteins, ribosomes and mechanisms of frameshifting in RNA viruses. Lots of exciting science, supportive new group, great facilities and fantastic city. Please retweet (and apply!)

A BIG thank you to @ERC_Research for supporting my group @CRUK_BI @UofGCancerSci with an ERC Starting Grant! I’m humbled by the vote of confidence. For those interested in PhD or Postdoc positions aiming to unravel the mystery of #mtdna mutations in #cancer, watch this space… 😊
Last few days to apply for a fully-funded PhD with me, @LullaValeria and @mjplevin (deadline 7th January). Come and join us in beautiful York and work on mechanisms of IRES-mediated initiation in enteroviruses. Please RT🙂

I've had a persistent cough for the last 3 days. If I do a lat flow with just the nasal swab as instructed, I get a negative. I've I do a throat swab as well, I get a positive. Has the virus just mutated to evade the nasal swab? Getting a PCR to confirm my hypothesis (n=1)
