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

Really neat paper suggesting that STING helps nucleate stress granules near the ER.
This beautifully and physically highlights the integration of classical antiviral pathways and RNP granules

We should all think twice before providing personal feedback on scientific presentations. For example, criticizing an accent is pointless. If you had difficulty understanding a presentation, suggest that the speaker slow down; don't point out their origin.
SUPER COOL to have my recent paper highlighted by CoV transcription legends, Drs Isabel Sola & Sonia Zuñiga in a PLoS Bio Primer.
A much better read than the AI summary of the paper 💥

So how do mRNAs get localised at specific areas of the cell if there are no unifying sequence or structural patterns? Work from the labs of @simonbullock11.bsky.social @carter-lab.bsky.social @natsmb.nature.com provides insightful answers to this longstanding question. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
