👀 Just updated my Google Scholar and... can’t believe one of my papers reached 100 citations! 🚀

💪🏼 It might not seem like much, but as a PhD student, it feels like a big achievement.

❤️ To all fellow PhDs, keep going, stay strong, and celebrate every milestone!🔁

🚨 Our team just released a reproducible Docker pipeline for RNAseq assembly and annotation designed for nonmodel organisms!

We're using it to explore how bats manage viral infections, but it's built for broad utility in wildlife transcriptomics. @viralemergence.org

Motivation: Many transcriptome creation workflows are not standardized, are difficult to install or share, prone to breaking as dependencies update or cease to be maintained and are resource intensive...

In today’s publication in Science we introduce Zincore: a novel protein of QRICH1 and SEPHS1 and functions as a transcriptional coregulator dedicated to zinc finger transcription factors. Here’s how we found it: 🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/11

Zincore, an atypical coregulator, binds zinc finger transcription factors to control gene expression

Zinc finger proteins (ZNFs) are the largest family of transcription factors, yet how they activate gene expression remains unclear. In this study, we identified Zincore, a protein complex consisting o...

I’ve already seen plenty of images here on Bluesky using #MolecularNodes, so now it’s time to share my first one!

🤔 Which one do you prefer: with or without surface?
