New research shows bacteria can redefine stop codons by shortening tRNA anticodon stems. This "extended superwobble" proves tRNAs aren't passive—they're active drivers that can evolve entirely new genetic codes! doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

Study by our PhD student, Thinles Chondol, explores how high Himalayan plants (4200–5300 m) sustain photochemical performance across the cold-arid Ladakh Range. Are they stressed or functionally adapted to extreme conditions and seasonal changes? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Congratulations to our Chemists for a groundbreaking achievement in structural biology! With their colleagues, they developed a new method to determine high-resolution protein structure from a single crystal grown inside a living cell. inhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-69205-6
The new opinion article in Trends in Biochemical Sciences by Pavla Nedbalova and Tomas Dolezal (@drosophylab.bsky.social) from Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (@kmbg-jcu.bsky.social) provides new insights into the complex role of adenosine! More at authors.elsevier.com/a/1msKv3S6Gf....
Excited to share the newest publication from the Alex Bruce lab! PhD students M. Stiborová, A. Hauserová & R. Collier show that p38-MAPKs drive primitive endoderm specification in an ICM-autonomous manner, independent of cavity expansion. @kmbg-jcu.bsky.social l academic.oup.com/reproduction...

Last month, we organized a workshop on FUNGAL PHYLOGENOMICS, with 16 participants from Czechia, Hungary, Italy, and Poland. I presented an open lecture about #Laboulbeniomycetes (of course 😊🍄🪲). The workshop was funded through our Visegrad Fund grant no. 22420237.
