Excited to share our new preprint! 🧬❄️ by brilliant @mdreimann.bsky.social and great collaborators!
Using cryo-ET&EM, we reveal archaeal chromatin in a near-native state: variable-beads-on-a-string fibers shaped by growth phase and histone composition #ArchaeaSky

very sad news. Peer Bork was one of the leaders of our field, a wonderful scientist, and he's much too young to be gone. www.embl.org/news/embl-an...
Extremophile alert!

EMBL and its community are deeply saddened by the death of Peer Bork, the organisation’s Interim Director General.
EMBL graduated its biggest class ever at the end of April, celebrating with 60 fellows who submitted or defended their theses over the past 12 months.
Representing 22 different countries, EMBL graduates continued to show a diversity in science as well as background. Congratulations graduates!
Sign up now for the EMBO Workshop "#MolecularBiology of #Archaea: Life Through the Prism of Archaea" in Cambridge, UK, 6–10 July 2026.
Deadline: 15 April

EMBL is deeply saddened by the passing of our Interim Director General Peer Bork, a pioneering scientist who left an indelible imprint on life science research in Europe and beyond.
We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

Archaea may not be well known, nor well studied, but these microorganisms can live in the most extreme environments, but also right on our skin. They’re everywhere.
EMBL researchers are now exploring their unique ecosystem adaptability and link to evolution.
