Thank you for organizing this wonderful symposium and bringing us all together to discuss what we love most: the many amazing mechanisms in RNA biology! @vidigaljoana.bsky.social @drjz.bsky.social

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Happy pi (RNA) day!

a must read for retrovirus, ERV, piRNA and transposon aficionados. see also recent work from the group of @astridhaase.bsky.social on the importance of transposon insertions downstream of host genes for for piRNA-based immunity.
