Found this bird at the foot of the Copenhagen University BioCenter, and startled more than a few members of staff when I walked by carrying a dead Wood Pigeon.

New paper by our Plaschka lab with Brennecke’s lab at IMBA!

Researchers at the Vienna BioCenter have solved a 20-year-old mystery in genome biology, revealing how PIWI proteins engage partner molecules to silence “jumping genes” that threaten genetic stability.
How cells lock down “jumping genes”:
Researchers from IMBA and IMP identify the first protein interactions that trigger PIWI–piRNA–mediated transposon silencing, using AlphaFold predictions, genetics, biochemistry and cell biology.
