Unis rufen zu Demos gegen Kürzungen auf‼️
Die Unis befürchten Einsparungen von einer Mrd. Euro im #Budget. Rektorensprecherin Brigitte Hütter sprach bei einer Pressekonferenz von einem "Supergau" für Unis, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Rektor Schütze sprach von enormen Schaden für die Reputation. ⤵️
I'm super happy to finally see the paper published ! Check out the full story here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
A consortium of group leaders from IMP, IMBA (Vienna BioCenter) and ISTA has been awarded an FWF Emerging Fields grant to study how germ cells safeguard and pass on genetic information across generations.
Thrilled to see my main PhD work out on bioRxiv! Huge thanks to @arburga.bsky.social and my wonderful labmates, collaborators, colleagues and friends @imbavienna.bsky.social @viennabiocenter.bsky.social for a detailed breakdown see below 👇

Five years after a short rotation in the Peters lab, I’m happy to see this cool story spearheaded by Gordana Wutz finally published.

Our latest publication is now out at Genome Biology!
link.springer.com/article/10.1...
We uncover a unique association between a H3K27me3 reader complex and active transcription.
A thread with our key findings: (1/8)

Germ cells have their own versions of core transcription factors and fertility depends on them.
We're hiring a PhD student to figure out how! 📢
Fly genetics + proteomics + genomics. Fully funded.
Aarhus University 🇩🇰
Deadline May 1 👇
Please share with anyone who might be interested!

Background The ability to deposit histone H3K27-trimethyl (me3) marks is essential for transcriptional repression by Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). This is largely attributed to Polycomb repres...
Retrovirus insertions in host transcripts trigger de novo piRNA immunity:
Kirsten-André Senti, @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social et al investigate the 20th-century invasion of D. melanogaster by iERV Tirant to reveal piRNA-pathway evolution in response to new threats

How host organisms adapt their defense systems to newly invading transposable elements remains poorly understood. Here, we show how Drosophila melanogaster acquired PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA)-mediat...
🧬 Inside the cell nucleus, two meters of DNA are folded into shape by cohesin—a protein complex that forms DNA loops. But how is this process controlled?
Our Peters’ lab and collaborators have discovered how cells put the brakes on DNA loop formation: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

1/ How do animals develop immunity against a newly encountered transposable element from scratch? Our study reveals that the mobility of TEs is their Achilles heel, allowing hosts to develop a powerful small RNA-mediated silencing response.

🧬 New research from the Burga lab! We took a closer look at a rogue selfish protein and caught evolution in the act of turning something old into something radically new 💡 (a.k.a. neofunctionalization) @imbavienna.bsky.social
