Postdoc at University of Turku chasing RNAs 👩🔬🧬💻
Our story from @oestlab.bsky.social studying the levels of small RNA (sRNA) in sperm from IVF is finally out in @natcomms.nature.com! We wanted to understand whether there are specific sperm sRNA important for male fertility, and it turns out there are 🤯

Small RNA in sperm–Paternal contributions to human embryo development
Nature Communications - Sperm delivers not only the paternal genome but also regulatory sRNAs. Here they show that sRNAs, including miRNAs and Y-RNAs, correlate with sperm concentration,...

Yesterday @bgylemo.bsky.social nailed his thesis ”The dynamics of X-chromosome inactivation in humans” that he will defend on the 26th of September 09:00 in Belladonna at Campus US.
Curious to know why he has cats on the cover of his thesis -> liu.diva-portal.org/smash/record...

We currently have a call for support that has gone out to European labs, to support FlyBase-UK. We are asking our colleagues from labs in the US and other countries to wait for a similar call to them that will go out in the near future, to support the US sites. We thank you for your patience.
URGENT: FlyBase has lost practically all its funding overnight; even user fees are tied up in denied grant funding. 🤬🤯
Any lab using @flybase.bsky.social please donate using the link in post below.
This incredible community, on whose backs our #Drosophila labs depend, can't be left out to dry.

My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate.
