An overlooked aspect of becoming a scientist is realizing that you have a particular brand; a unique approach, an attraction to a certain kind of problem and a set of connections that you like to make. Uri calls it finding your internal tuning fork.

Delighted to share our newest publication - beautiful collaboration with Ya-Ming Hou’s lab. If you wonder whether bacterial mRNAs contain m6A (yes they do) and whether it matters (does not seem to) look here 👇🏻

m6A modification is incorporated into bacterial mRNA without specific functional benefit
Abstract. N6-Methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant modification in eukaryotic messenger RNAs (mRNAs), has also been found at a low level in bacterial mR

So cool, a novel archaeon with a super small genome and no metabolic genes!
"An unprecedented level of metabolic dependence on a host, a condition that challenges the functional distinctions between minimal cellular life and viruses."

On chromatin and SNPs of aging @dannybar.bsky.social and colleagues
Our preprint "Reversible and Causal Epigenetic Information Loss in Liver Aging and Disease" is out! We've previously shown that looking at methylation sites that are very different in one tissue from all others allows us to observe epigenetic information is loss upon aging 1/3
