Hot off the press! We have investigated how a promiscuous RNA-binding protein/RNA chaperone affects large RNAs using SHAPE/DMS-MaP in vitro and in virus-infected cells. Check out our studies of the transcriptome-wide effects of the viral RNA chaperone: https://t.co/ZWse5B4wtn

If you're looking for a super exciting postdoc in a great location the lab of @jonathan_grimes from @OxfordStrubi have 5year position. We'll use SPA and cryo-tomography to look at how the influenza virus works. Please DM if you've got any questions.

Super happy and grateful for all the great discussions and stimulating questions so far!
If you want to learn about therapeutic oligos and their delivery come and see mine and @SebastianSjstr1 posters (T02 / T08) in the next session tonight @GBM_eV in #Mosbach!

It was a great pleasure and fun to visit Oxford to examine Michael Knight’s PhD thesis together with @NorbsOx. Many congratulations to @M_L_Knight and many thanks to his supervisors  @fodorlab and @DavidLVBauer for many stimulating discussions!

[Alex Walker @AlexWalkerPath]

Just out today, our contribution to understanding #SARSCoV2! We show that the viral polymerase is involved in capping the viral RNA. With thanks to @fodorlab @haitian_fan @JeremyKeown1 @M_L_Knight @jonathan_grimes
