Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://t.co/2I7IpaYoKb
We have developed a cysteine-free, highly thermostable tagging system, UTag, that enables single-mRNA translation tracking in live cells. You may wonder how different tagging systems affect translation kinetics—we addressed this by performing a systematic comparison.
I find this device from the Manalis lab at MIT, quite remarkable: https://t.co/xqWuKVVtAg
By measuring the resonant frequency of a cantilever through which growing cells are flown back and forth, it can weight the cells to remarkable precision (often 0.1% of their mass). 1/2
New preprint out! 🚀

We mapped how septins organise infection in the rice blast fungus—and found they are far more dynamic than previously thought.

Our linker histone H1 paper is out @ScienceAdvances: https://t.co/fGZsmvRPWK
@MasaAShimazoe et al. reveal that H1 acts as a liquid-like "glue" to organize chromatin in living cells. 🎉 Fantastic collab with @rcollepardo, @janhuemar, Charlie Phillips and others—huge thanks! 🙌 ½
Very happy to see our work published! Thank to the editor and the reviewers for all the very helpful comments!

We present evidence of a gene duplication event 28–18 million years ago that coincided with the global expansion of C4 grasses, allowing the maize pathogen #Colletotrichum graminicola to evolve CgEP4—a novel, nuclear-targeting #effector weapon. https://t.co/gf4ss9InPR

FINAL WARNING NATURE — MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT WARNING IN SCIENTIFIC HISTORY! STOP DELAYING & ACCEPT THE BIG, BEAUTIFUL PAPER WITHIN 24 HOURS. MANY SAY IT’S THE GREATEST PAPER EVER WRITTEN (BY FAR). DON’T MAKE US RELEASE THE REVIEWS FOR ALL TO SEE — IT WILL BE VERY EMBARRASSING!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT MATTER.
