@MRC_LMB @MolBiolAU @palconh @lapassmore Congratulations!

[Ebbe Sloth Andersen @esandersen]

We have submitted our second paper on the topic the RNA world in collaboration with @PhilHolliger based on experimental work by @EmilLK2 and @mcrae_ewan in the @AndersenBioLab. Preprint is available on bioRxiv! Here comes a short explanation of the background and content.🧵1/7:

[Phil Holliger @PhilHolliger]

New preprint from my lab, based on a great collaboration with @esandersen and @mcrae_ewan, @EmilLK2.

Read our latest story on the circles of life 😊

[Ebbe Sloth Andersen @esandersen]

Nice news story about our recent research into the mythical RNA world, where we have explored the structure of the (proposed) central player: the RNA replicase. Thanks to @EmilLK2, @mcrae_ewan, @PhilHolliger and coauthors for making the research possible. https://t.co/QjiXgDnE5H

Det har faglige konsekvenser, når man reducerer uddannelser fra 2 til 1 år. Det skal #dkpol vide, når man laver så gennemgribende indgreb på #DKuni, som
@regeringDK lægger op til. @kristian_lauta med vigtige input til @folketinget's Uddannelses- og Forskningsudvalg. #uddpol

I was very pleased when @EmilLK2 and @PhilHolliger approached me, wanting to know the structure of RNA mincircles as they undertake rolling circle amplification. Here is the result of our simulations, now published in @eLife :
