New online! Licence to knockdown — the phage gene silencer
Licence to knockdown — the phage gene silencer
Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 22 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01253-zThis Genome Watch explores how a new antisense oligomer-based approach enables functional genomics of genetically intractable bacteriophages, revealing essential genes and infection mechanisms without requiring genetic modification.

Now online! Pan-modification profiling facilitates a cross-evolutionary dissection of the thermoregulated ribosomal epitranscriptome
Pan-modification profiling facilitates a cross-evolutionary dissection of the thermoregulated ribosomal epitranscriptome
Pan-Mod-seq enables systematic, multi-modification mapping of rRNA across life. Applying it to diverse organisms reveals that hyperthermophiles dynamically install stabilizing modifications to support ribosome function at extreme temperatures.
