It provides curated sequence collections for comparative, structural, and evolutionary studies.
We hope TRACEY will be useful to cell biologists and evolutionary biologists alike.

[Fasshauer_Lab @FasshauerL]

We're happy to announce the public release of TRACEY, an updated database of proteins involved in intracellular membrane trafficking and membrane fusion.

Ichthyosporea are not just the 5–6 species we and others have helped establish as models. Our recent synthesis suggests that ~95% of their species-level diversity remains uncultivated. In other words, we still know only a fraction of the map! #missingrelatives #protists

Transmembrane domain composition reflects subcellular localization of SNARE proteins https://t.co/QD9di4p0rU

[𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘬 @dirk_fasshauer]

In our new study, we took a closer look at the transmembranes of SNARE proteins and found that they can be divided into two classes:
SNAREs of the early (ER and Golgi) and late secretory pathways. https://t.co/LS0CiV44eL

@Pawel_Burkhardt & @Ella_Maru make it again and got another nice cover. Congrats too to @ColgrenJeffrey! Calcium signaling and electrical coordination demonstrated in the #choanoflagellate S. rosetta. Interestingly, these processes appear linked to feeding activity, involving a regulated flow of signals between cells. #multicellularity

[Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo @multicellgenome]

Fantastic #Sinergia retreat on #animalorigins! A day packed with insights into #multicellularity, #ichthyosporeans, #choanoflagellates & more—capped with a Swiss-style finale. Huge thanks to @dirk_fasshauer @Pahskahrailly @steg0s4urus @cdessimoz @pedrobeltrao @merimonas @freejakoba, Arianna, Michela, Mark, Emmanuel, Guifré for such a wonderful and scientific day! 🧬🇨🇭

Analyses by Barbara Mota, @AnnaSapfo, @ODelaneau et al. show that the Polynesian population of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) already had a Native American admixture of about 10% before Columbus, which shows that they reached the American continent. https://t.co/YeeXMEF2Re

[Olivier Delaneau @ODelaneau]

Very proud to be part of this study led by Anna Malaspinas, published in @Nature, exploring the genomic history of Rapa Nui. Huge shoutout to Barbara and Victor for their amazing work! Check out our findings here: https://t.co/pJYMdFWil1

Pleased to announce our latest preprint:

Genetically Encoded FerriTag as a Specific Label for Cryo-Electron Tomography.

Great work of @WangCha98466329 and @ColdPopeye. https://t.co/sXpAYkd93o with great support of @DCI_EM-Bern and Microscopy Imaging Center Bern

[Fasshauer_Lab @FasshauerL]

Thanks to a number of suggestions from helpful peer reviewers, our manuscript has been further improved and has now been published in Protein Science.

We have posted our latest work on SNARE proteins in BioRxiv. 🙂🍾
We found that there is a matching pattern in the core of the SNARE complex that dictates the position of the four fundamental SNARE types in the bundle, resulting in a QabcR complex.

[Fasshauer_Lab @FasshauerL]

Our latest study is available as a preprint. @_Aysima looked at the question of how protein dynamics and function can be investigated directly using the protein sequence.
