Barabas group
@BarabasGroup
Research focused on structure, mechanisms, impacts and applications of mobile DNA elements, like #transposons. Moved from @EMBL to @unige_en
We are delighted to receive an ERC Consolidator Grant (#ERCCoG) to advance our work on #transposons and antibiotic resistance spreading. Many thanks to @ERC_Research, to all past and present lab members, and to colleagues @embl and around the world.
📢 Consolidator Grant results! 301 excellent researchers received #ERCCoG worth in total €600 million - to address frontier research questions, build up their teams and have far-reaching impact. erc.europa.eu/news/erc-award… 🇪🇺#EUfunded @EUScienceInnov @EU_Commission @GabrielMariya
Congratulations @BarabasGroup on your collaboration with @JoePetersLab in this article published in @ScienceMagazine: Telomeric #transposons are pervasive in linear bacterial genomes @MoCel_Geneva @sciences_UNIGE 👉Full text: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Transposons, or “jumping genes” – DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another – are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Cornell researchers have discovered a new mechanism these genes use to survive and propagate in…

@VladimirArinkin (@BarabasGroup) unveils the structure of Sleeping Beauty, a transposon awakened 27 years ago. Beautiful! #cshlTE24
In eukaryotes, some transposons target telomeres; in Drosophila, they even replace them. Peters lab and Barabas group show that bacteria with linear genomes also harbor diverse telomeric transposons. doi.org/10.1126/scienc… @JoePetersLab @BarabasGroup
A thread from the Postdoc who led the work on bacterial Telomeric transposons. A wonderful collaboration with the Barabas lab. Officially out in the journal today!

Our preprint is now published science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Eukaryotes have linear DNA and their telomeres are hotspots for transposons. Many bacteria are also known to have linear genomes. We identified several families of independently evolved telomeric transposons. 1/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
