They can pose a threat to human health — yeast infections are but one example. Scientists say not enough attention is paid to their ability to develop resistance to medications that treat them.
If after reading the article you are still hungry for more about alternative TREX-2 complexes, also check out the recent preprints from the labs of Torben Heick Jensen @heick.bsky.social and Mary Dasso 😉

Not to be missed!
It was a moving moment and highlight of this 77th #MosbacherKolloquium.
Happy 30th birthday to this paper published March 22, 1996, one of the studies that moved chromatin biology from correlation toward mechanism. Brownell et al. linked a transcription-associated Tetrahymena HAT to yeast Gcn5p, providing a biochemical link for chromatin modification to gene activation.
I've experimented for 3+ years with AI and academic writing.
Upcoming webinar on everything I have learned:

Very sad to hear of the passing today of our UCSF colleague Mike Bishop at the age of 90. A legendary and inspiring figure. He also led UCSF as Chancellor. Have a listen to his Nobel lecture. youtube.com/watch?v=CDv7...
Just out! 👀 for TFs that regulate TEs.Clara's work with @tamas-schauer.bsky.social @marliesoomen.bsky.social @palmrinmoy.bsky.social and bluesky-less lab members 🌎 identifies TBP as a regulator of specific ERVL class: MaLRs in 🐭embryos -as always -feedback welcome👍

New Preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... from our lab - work by (now) Dr. Feyza Polat Haas with fabulous contributions from many. We show that mammals have a 💪 POWER-Spliceoeome in the 🧠 optimized for metabolic functions. This happens because SNRPB (SmB) is replaced by its paralogue SNRPN (SmN).
