Long in the making, but happy to present the Chlamydomonas chlororibosome!
Cryo-ET🔬reveals a large new domain on the small subunit, built from multiple extensions in conserved ribosomal proteins.
bioRxiv 📖: shorturl.at/q44tG
This suggests greater chlororibosome diversity than expected!

It was a great pleasure to host Nick Irwin from @gmivienna.bsky.social here at @mpi-mp-potsdam.bsky.social, where he talked about their work on horizontal gene transfer, its effect on evolution and on the development of new molecular pathways. Looking forward to follow future developments!

Duckweeds are an important plant research model but have been challenging to modify genetically. A study published in @newphyt.bsky.social by the Marí-Ordóñez group at the GMI, presents a new and highly reproducible method for genetic transformation in the duckweed species Spirodela polyrhiza.
