50 years of structural biology in the French Alps!
🎂 @EMBLGrenoble celebrates its anniversary alongside alumni, partners, and collaborators, reflecting on past and future achievements. Congratulations!
RNA-guided systems span kingdoms, from bacterial immunity to eukaryotic gene regulation. How did they evolve? We traced the origins of CRISPR-Cas13 and identified its likely ancestor: an RNA-based toxin-antitoxin (TA) system. Here’s what we uncovered:

📢 Our work on CDS #m6A mediated RNA decay (CMD) is out in @MolecularCell ! Decay relies on ribosome pausing at m6A containing codons. Great collab with the Zarnack lab & colleagues. Check it out here: https://t.co/KSi8SdR91i
Thank you @imbmainz@Uni_WUE@ItsRMaP1 🥳
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Ratan Tata, a visionary leader, philanthropist, and former President of IISc's Court.
A condolence meeting was held today at the Institute to pay respects to him.
