Some good news arrived in my inbox this morning. Until that is ready to share, here is a heron relocating to a new fishing spot. #birds

can you tell they are half siblings?

🔥 We have an updated preprint for you, complete with Nano-tRNAseq(!!!), mass spec analysis of tRNA mods, and a more complete mechanism of 5-FC resistance. We got some great help with this edition from the Gsaller & Kaiser labs. Hope you like it! biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

tRNA hypomodification facilitates 5-fluorocytosine resistance via cross-pathway control system activation in Aspergillus fumigatus.

Increasing antifungal drug resistance is a major concern associated with human fungal pathogens like Aspergillus fumigatus . Genetic mutation and epimutation mechanisms clearly drive resistance, yet t...

My group is recruiting a postdoc to study how environmental interactions shape the virulence of human fungal pathogens. Please share! Full job description and how to apply at barber-lab.com/join.

I guess this is the first thing I have "published" auf Deutsch (with lots of language help)? The take-home is that our group at the Leibniz-HKI studies human pathogenic fungi by following our favorite macromolecule, RNA. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I am not sure I have a favorite, but herons are high on my list of goofy yet majestic creatures. Here is a heron only showing majestic. 🪶
