New paper by our Plaschka lab with Brennecke’s lab at IMBA!

Researchers at the Vienna BioCenter have solved a 20-year-old mystery in genome biology, revealing how PIWI proteins engage partner molecules to silence “jumping genes” that threaten genetic stability.
How cells lock down “jumping genes”:
Researchers from IMBA and IMP identify the first protein interactions that trigger PIWI–piRNA–mediated transposon silencing, using AlphaFold predictions, genetics, biochemistry and cell biology.

Sad to hear that Scott Hawley passed away. He was an amazing educator and enthusiastic scientist. Together with Michael Ashburner they led the Drosophila @cshlnews.bsky.social course which changed my scientific life. I am sure that up there they now discuss variegation and non-disjunction mechanisms
