Getting Started

Please RT: 🌱 We’re hiring a Postdoc and a PhD student! ⏳ Application deadline: 17. March 2025 Join our lab and explore the role of alternative mRNA isoforms in drought stress and environmental adaptation in crops and Arabidopsis. Learn more and apply: www.lablaubinger.eu/Opportunities

Our paper has been published! We used in vivo single-particle tracking to demonstrate that the assembly of core FCA oligomers into functional macromolecular condensates. Thanks to all the authors and colleagues!

Fantastic opportunity. Apply!

A very insightful work into #lncRNA parallel functions, U1-dependent #chromatin association, and alternative #polyA site selection. I am delighted to be part of this work led by Szymon Swiezewski and Sebastian Sacharowski. ⚠️ Preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very happy to be part of this cool story showing that LUC7 proteins define two major classes of 5’SS in animals and plants! Thanks, Chris @daspliceisright.bsky.social and Connor, for reaching out to us!

We are happy to share our work on local #nucleosome dynamics integrating #temperature inputs into an #epigenetic switching mechanism. ⚠️ Preprint alert!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What is the multiscale structure of chromatin condensates? How does it shape thermodynamic and material properties? We address this at near-atomistic resolution🔥🔥🔥 using cryoET (Rosen & Villa labs, led by H Zhou), a new multiscale model (K Russell) and cryoET-guided sims (J Huertas & J Maristany)

Welcome bluesky science community! Excited to connect with you all. 🧬
