Happy to share my 1st 1st-author publication!
Our experiments reveal mismatch-position dependency of antisense-PNA #antibiotics. We Included this in MASON, a web-based PNA design tool. Big thanks for the support of the co-authors/helpers from @LBarquist @JoergLab @Helmholtz_HIRI

[RNA @RNAJournal]

The MASON webserver offers improved design of RNA-targeting antisense antibiotics, taking account of position-dependent effects of mismatches on target bacteria https://t.co/YbxzxMauXy

[International Microorganism Day @IntMicroDay]

#WorldHealthDay highlights the urgent need for new antibiotics. From microbes to mammoths, scientists are uncovering antimicrobial compounds in unexpected places, including ancient DNA.

Der #Wahlomat ist da. Die Bundestagswahl steht vor der Tür und gerade mit den Ereignissen der letzten Woche hat mich die Übereinstimmungen der Parteien interessiert. Daher habe ich das mal ausgewertet.

We used in-vitro laboratory evolution to "stress test" the next generation class of antibiotics based on antisense oligos ("asobiotics"). Head over to our new preprint to find out more!

I am excited to finally share this preprint from @JoergLab.
We've developed a reporter assay to enable high throughput discovery of carriers for ASOs into bacteria.
This was a challenging and exciting journey for me, from MedChem/ChemBio into Mol/SynBio.

Happy #InternationalMicroorganismDay to everyone celebrating across the world! 🌐

It's only with such a devoted community that this day has become such a special celebration.😁

Cheers to the #microbes! 🦠

Shall we start calling them „asobiotics“? Probably easier than „antisense-based antibiotics“ or „antibacterial peptide-delivered antisense drugs“, to name just a few of the current names. To be discussed. Anyway, ASOBIOTICS 2024 was a big success. Big thanks to everyone involved.

High-throughput transposon mutagenesis in the family Enterobacteriaceae reveals core essential genes and rapid turnover of essentiality

@mbiojournal from @LBarquist

https://t.co/SIElB47mh7

[Lars Barquist @LBarquist]

We determined gene essentiality in 13 Enterobacteriaceae including E. coli, Salmonella and Klebsiella strains, and find ~1/3 of the essential genome is variable -- but! there's no evidence for genus-specific essential genes, implying rapid turnover https://t.co/dy0ovi4WE4

The big consultants haven't just benefited from a weakened state - they've championed an ideology of short-termism and risk aversion in the public sector. Ending this 'consultancy cult' is crucial for transforming our economy.

ASO technology using exogenous delivery of antisense oligonucleotides offers many diverse applications, from killing pathogens to reprogramming genetically intractable microbes. Time to organize the first conference on ASOs & microbes! Register at https://t.co/eNzbhiYaaA
