Do you work on DNA or RNA protein complexes? 🧬
Come to Machines on Genes this June in Crete! ☀️
Super early discount is ending this Sunday so register now! 😃
Thank you @fusionconf.bsky.social for such a great meeting and to Xiaodong Zhang and John Tainer for putting together an amazing programme!! 🧬🧬
And that’s a wrap! 🎉
Our first conference of 2026 is complete, and what a fantastic way to start the year!
We hope to see both familiar and new faces at the next #DRRSC meeting in 2028.

Many congratulations Brenda!!
A beautifully crafted summary of the extraordinary discovery in the lab of my @mrclmb.bsky.social colleague @philholliger.bsky.social of a tiny RNA that can replicate RNA.
Just posted our latest, led by Consuelo Perez and Pierre Murat, showing the intimate relationship between transcription, DNA supercoiling and chromatin architecture during human stem cell differentiation. Thanks to all at @mrclmb.bsky.social doi.org/10.64898/202...

Two group leader positions available in the broader areas of RNA science, RNA technologies, and RNA medicine. Attractive packages and a great environment. Come and join us at Helmholtz RNA Würzburg, Bavaria.
Start independent research at the JIC with us 👇.
Really interested in finding those with an interest in structural biology and biochemistry of plants and microbes.
Please do get in touch by email if you'd like to know more 👍
We have an open post-doc position in my group to study mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation using biochemical reconstitution and cryoEM.
Please get in touch if you are interested in joining this amazing team! 🔬🧬🤩
#RNA #cryoEM
Oh that’s not what I meant at all. Family obligations are always a juggle. It is especially challenging in summer for many reasons - including for those who have (often aging) family overseas.
Just a reminder that August is peak school holidays in the UK, but also more broadly in Europe and in Canada. If you schedule conferences during August you exclude a large proportion of people from these regions who have family obligations.
