"During my postdoc, while collaborating with the lab of Steve Gygi, I learned how proteomics can be done on small amounts of material. This has been crucial for us since we have little material working with oocytes, a cell type in which there is very little correlation between mRNA and protein levels. Now, I'm looking forward to similar improvements in metabolomics, so that we can apply it more widely to our projects."

For every #Research Article and #Review article that is published in one of our journals, [link to journal Mastodon accounts], a #nativetree is planted in a forest in the UK. We are also funding the restoration and preservation of #ancientwoodland and dedicating these trees to our peer reviewers. #forestofbiologists https://forest.biologists.com

'A ministra do Interior britânica, Suella Braverman, anunciou um pacote de medidas anti-imigração que pretende impedir a entrada de imigrantes ilegais através do Canal da Mancha. A legalidade das medidas é altamente questionável. Já a desumanidade não. Os imigrantes ilegais passarão a ser recebidos no Reino Unido da seguinte forma: serão detidos e reenviados de volta ao país de origem ou para o Ruanda, com quem foram estabelecidos protocolos para o efeito.'

The labs of Jan-Michael Peters and @leonidmirny @MIT have found how #genetranscription interferes with #cohesin-mediated loop extrusion. Transcription shapes genome organisation in unexpected ways!

"Drosophila antennae are dispensable for gravity orientation", Kladt & Reiser 2023 – but the paper, says Michael Reiser, was written up in 2012.

Back in 2009, Kamikouchi at al. (Kei Ito's lab) already figured out that the fly's antennae are dispensable for gravity sensing: "The neural basis of Drosophila gravity-sensing and hearing" https://www.nature.com/articles/nature07810
Another illustration by Madalena Parreira for the online content I created while at JEM - Dan Davis.
At the time, Davis had just published The Compatibility Gene - the lottery motif alludes to matching MHC types for transplantation. A common theme for this interview and the interview with Matt Cobb (https://flexnersuitcase.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/the-first-five-pages-a-conversation-with-matthew-cobb/) was how scientists find a publisher when they have a book project
