Our paper discovering novel roles for the retrovirus-like proteins RTL8 and PEG10 in shaping stress granule biology is now online on Science Advances! #llps #stressgranules science.org/doi/full/10.11…
Hi, we've made a new R package for APA analysis of long read RNA-Seq data. Works best on Oxford Nanopore direct RNA-Seq data. We call it APALORD. apalord.com
There is so much cool work on F-actin structures in butterfly wing scales for structural colors, from Parnell/Nadeau and Nipam Patel. So much potential!
using bio structure for photonics seems underexplored
After a long break, it's time to show what I have been working on, in my literary endeavours. Presenting the first ever Sanskrit verse translation of the Dao De Jing (道德經), chapter 1. अथ मार्गगुणकारिका प्रारभ्यते : प्रथमोऽध्यायः (第一章） गौरीं स्कन्दं गणेशञ्च नमस्कृत्य…
More than 2700 3′UTRs are highly conserved. These 3′UTRs are essential components in mRNA templates, as their deletion decreases protein activity without changing protein abundance. Highly conserved 3′UTRs help the folding of proteins with long IDRs. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
"stress granules form when cells are stressed" name a single physiological stress that doesn't kill the organism that induces stress granules. Just one.
In yeast, the CDK and cyclin proteins that drive cell division activate first in the nucleus — a different location in the cell from where was previously thought go.nature.com/4l0rBP3
R. I. P. Helen De Cruz. You were really someone special. A sane voice in an insane world, a rose rising through a cement block ... a glimpse of sunlight in a stormy day. The world has lost a beautiful soul.
🚨New preprint alert!🚨 ER tethering and active transport govern condensate diffusion during hyperosmotic stress biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Awesome paper alert! Learn about spectrum of chromatin condensate morphologies due to elastocapillary effects (no, liquids do not need to be spherical!), from amazing @DNAmyStrom & Hongbo Zhao, w/ important contributions from co-authors Eeftens, Haataja, Kosmrlj.
If heterochromatin is really a liquid-like condensate, why is it not spherical? We investigated whether mechanical interactions between a condensate and a fiber network can explain the variety of morphologies seen in phase-separated nuclear compartments. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our reviewed preprint on koji-fungus is out @eLife. We analyzed why Aspergillus oryzae is an excellent enzyme producer and discovered a trait, 10-fold increase in hyphal cell volume and nuclear number. This also applies to other industrially bred fungi. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…
We have a postdoctoral opening in the Narayanan Lab (narayananlab.com) @UFChemistry @ButlerPolymer. Please apply here: explore.jobs.ufl.edu/en-us/job/5359…
ODBI is seeking a scientific staff member to help run a new microscopy facility. This facility will house roughly a dozen advanced light microscopes, with a particular focus on light microscopy approaches for both imaging and active interfacing with living cells and organisms.
New special issue from Current Biology: the incredible Fungal Kingdom! From microscopic yeasts to the massive "humongous fungus" explore fungi’s roles in evolution, ecology, and discovery. Dive in: hubs.ly/Q03rdl9J0
Saprotrophy-to-symbiosis continuum in fungi I enjoyed writing this piece with Tan Hao for the Current Biology special issue on Fungi sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
This makes my reading list for the week! Plus I have a primer on Fungal Syncytia in this issue, which was super fun to write!!
Check out this amazing special issue of @CurrentBiology . The editorial from Joe Heitman nicely sets the scene and there are some spectacular reviews from many mycologists. I am glad to have been part of this, including in the 'MyShroom' section! cell.com/current-biolog…
Just received notification that our lab’s NIH MIRA was cut by 50% for this year. I am @ASU not Harvard… Maybe more exam grading by lab members & less science … & more piano 🎹 for Steve. It will be a little quieter in the world of data modeling for biophysics… @ASUResearch
I’m thrilled to finally share this work in full. We looked at how vascular plants rearranged their xylem to overcome size constraints and spread on dry land with @brodersen_lab @KyraPrats @HuggettLab @WasonLab @Medullosa An explanatory🧵for science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/10
