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/...
🌽🧬🐛 Together with @natcomms.nature.com and Scientific Reports, we invite articles in all areas of research investigating the roles of RNA in plant biotic interactions (including plant-microbe, plant-insect, and plant-plant interactions).

We open up to two Junior PI positions at UCT Prague, Czechia @vschtpraha.bsky.social. Broadly defined chemistry-related projects will be considered. A support from any department must be negotiated prior application. Feel free to contact me for further info or visit www.vscht.cz/research/dag....
How can an ordinary clam (well, actually more than 1,600 of these shells) reveal what the fjords on Svalbard looked like thousands of years ago?

🧬A new review article discusses the consequences of mutations in genes associated with rare hereditary diseases linked to #G-quadruplex -induced replisome stalling, as well as the molecular functions and cellular pathways of these G4-interacting proteins.

🧬Linker histone H1 suppresses H4-acetylation–induced H3 N-tail acetylation by altering tail dynamics without affecting the nucleosome core, indicating that H1 restricts euchromatin formation. Find out more in this latest article at
