Class 4b from Grundschule am Hechinger Eck visited our lab. 22 kids learned about DNA with @jweir.bsky.social, peered through microscopes to explore their cheek cells, insects & even carpet (!). Best part? DNA extraction from bananas! 🧬🍌 #biology #education #STEM #schoolvisit #DNA #MaxPlanck

New preprint! How does meiosis work in non-model organisms? Together with Susana Coelho at the MPI for Biology Tübingen @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social , we took a look at the proteins of the meiotic axis in the brown alga Ectocarpus www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Exploring Meiosis in Brown Algae: Meiotic Axis Proteins in the model brown alga Ectocarpus
Most extant eukaryotic systems share core meiosis-specific genes, suggesting meiosis evolved only once in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA). These genes have been characterized as master regu...
