Beautiful story from the labs of @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social and Clemens Plaschka on how Piwi silences transposons, solving the long-standing mystery of what happens upon target engagement - a topic still close to my heart 💙 Big congrats to Júlia and the whole team 🎉

📰 New paper alert!

In a collaborative project with the lab of Clemens Plaschka at the IMP, the lab of Julius Brennecke has revealed how PIWI proteins kickstart transposon silencing in reproductive cells.

The findings are published in Molecular Cell: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
