Congratulations to @bramverhagen.bsky.social who successfully defended his PhD on May 8th!

He developed a new tool, called RiboScan, which helped him discover new sequences in the mRNA that contribute to finding the start site of the coding sequence. See: https://www.hubrecht.eu/phd-bram-verhagen/

Very excited to share a new paper from the lab! We visualize RSV infection with single-vRNP resolution and show how the virus coordinates transcription and replication with the formation of viral factories, biomolecular condensates that act as sites of viral genome control.

Pre-assembly of biomolecular condensate seeds drives RSV replication
During infection many RNA viruses, including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), form specialized biomolecular condensates, inclusion bodies (IBs), where viral transcription and replication occur[1][1]...
