1/3 🚨New paper from our lab!🔥
Most textbooks will tell you that invertebrates employ #RNAi as antiviral mechanism. Yet, do 🪸🪼 actually do it? Well, the answer is complicated. We show that in #Nematostella dsRNA induces RNAi 🧵

1/3 🚨 new preprint from our lab!
For many years, it was unclear if and how RNAi contributes to antiviral immunity in Cnidaria. Sure, it is a key component in flies and nematodes, but these are protostomes. @AdmoniYael finally tested this with help from 🧵

1/2 Our paper about miRNA target complementarity in Cnidaria is finally published in @emboreports! This work was led by the talented @AdmoniYael with help from @Arie_Fridrich, @Rubi335 in collaboration with the labs of @thecocodium and @MichalRabani

1/3 It feels weird to post about science at such hard times, but here we go:
Major update of @AdmoniYael's preprint about miRNA-mRNA complementarity in Cnidaria: following some feedback we added experimental data from additional model species.

1/n I'm delighted to tell you about our latest #preprint that I think represents the most exciting work ever (!!!) coming out of my lab. Led by @joachimsurm about

@ILANITFISEB started today with great keynote speakers. Tomorrow (Tuesday), we are presenting two exciting e-posters about the #evolution of antiviral #immunity. One by Itamar Kozlovski (Board 21, 19:30-20:00) and another by Dr. Hee-Jin Kwak (Board 18, 20:30-21:00). Come visit!

1/3 When it rains, it pours (in a good way!). I'm proud of this paper @NatureComms: great collaboration led by @joachimsurm in my lab and @ed_omics in @adam_reitzel's lab about how venom genes evolve in sea anemones, both between and within species https://t.co/7PijSXfOr5 🧵

1/2 I'm excited to share our latest preprint: we've shown 9 years ago that like in 🌱 perfect complementarity by #miRNA to its target is frequent in #Cnidaria. However, we were always asked whether the mechanism common to other animals works in parallel 🧵

1/7 I'm very happy to announce that our paper about functional characterization of a HYL1 homolog in #Nematostella was published @eLife today. This work has pretty big implications regarding the evolution of the miRNA pathway in plants and animals https://t.co/IuKhXF8fFN

1/6 I'm thrilled to share our paper about cnidarian antiviral immunity that was just accepted to @MolBioEvol. This work was led by super postdoc @magda_lll as well as @SharoniTon, @AdmoniYael and @Rubi335

1/4 🔥#preprint alert!🔥
In this very cool work led by @magda_lll assisted by Ton Sharoni, @Rubi335 and @AdmoniYael we explore for the first time by functional means the #antiviral innate #immunity system of #Nematostella

1/2 Paper alert: Along the years some ubiquitous promoters for transgenics in #Nematostella were reported, but they all have their issues or were never defined how ubiquitous they are. Yael Admoni, Itamar Kozlovski and @magda_lll from my group did it now: https://t.co/oV9n3lNK5J
