High-plex spatial RNA imaging in one round with conventional microscopes using color-intensity barcodes - Nature Biotechnology The 64-plex fluorescence imaging of RNA in tissues is achieved in one imaging cycle

@lucianomartelotto, not on Bluesky, on a new Spatial RNA imaging method, PRISM. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Now added to #SingleCell #Spatial #Method bit.ly/scmethodstable

Very excited to see the final version of our kingdom-scale fungal genome defense manuscript out in @plosbiology.org !

This work has been a major project of @tbadet.bsky.social during his time in our lab.

We hope to stimulate much more exciting work on fungal TEs.

Aspergillus fumigatus dsRNA virus promotes fungal fitness and pathogenicity in the mammalian host - Nature Microbiology A mycovirus infecting the pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus enhances its stress tolerance and virulence in mice.

🚨 Fungi + viruses + mammalian lungs? Buckle up! Our new paper in

uncovers the story of a deadly fungus and its gnarly viral hitchhiker — and how this duo may change how we diagnose & treat fungal disease 🍄🫁🚨 doi.org/10.1038/s415... ⬇️

I'm thrilled to share that I've joined the Universidad Miguel Hernández in Spain as an Assistant Professor of Microbiology! Excited for this new chapter and the opportunities ahead.

Such an exciting 3rd Symposium on the Basal Fungal Kingdom! a complete success! Intriguing discussions with this amazing community. Now #ECFG17!

Excited to see everyone at the conference and at the Basal Fungal Kingdom Symposium!

I am thrilled to share our new review on holocentric chromosomes. It was a lot of fun to write it together with Ines Drinnenberg!

Cool story on fungal epimutaions!

RNAi epimutations conferring antifungal drug resistance are inheritable Epimutations modify gene expression and lead to phenotypic variation while the encoding DNA sequence remains unchanged. Epimutations mediated by RNA interference (RNAi) and/or chromatin modifications ...

It's great to be back in the light!💙🦋 In case you missed it while on the dark side, check out our latest preprint on the heritability of RNAi epimutations mediating drug resistance 🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.1.... More details? ▶️🧵

Testing, testing, one two, one two... 👋
