1/n Very excited to share my lab's latest manuscript, nearly 3 years after I started my independent group! This was a fantastic collaboration with Bryan Johnson and @TheMenacheryLab, led by joint 1st authors @hannah_kubinski and Hannah Despres in my lab biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Still looking for that perfect match -- postdocs, senior grad students interesting in virus-host interactions at the species barrier please get in touch! ABQ is a great place for outdoorsy folks or anyone who has an affinity for tacos 🌮⛰️🌮
New Year new you! Now recruiting an additional postdoc to join our ranks. Initial project will be on virus-host adaptation & genetic screening with lots of room to develop. Please RT :) thebakerlab.com/opportunitie…

We use avicel for as a semi-solid overlay for influenza virus plaque assays. Has anyone used a similar product that is commercially available?

There is still time to apply; join our team to work on influenza virus replication mechanisms!
📢 Exciting job opportunity! 📢
A postdoc position is available in our lab at @Dunn_School @UniofOxford to study influenza virus transcription, genome replication, nuclear export and assembly.

Creating resistance to avian influenza infection through genome editing of ANP32 gene family. Congrats. Many years complex discovery science work from idea suggested during reemergence of H5N1 in 2004/5.The broader implications of this important for debate nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

We love genetic approaches to define virus:host interactions. Knockout screens are powerful, but...technical constraints limit what you can find. Could we devise a screen where viral fitness pinpoints the key regulators of replication? (spoiler - yes cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…) 1/10

SOO excited to see the final LRGASP preprint out! The largest benchmark of #longreads for transcriptomics. A must-read if you plan on doing lrRNA-seq. Thanks to so many for the huge work @FJPardoPalacios @TheBrooksLab @MarkDiekhans @GSheynkman @calizavi

ACE2-independent SARS-CoV-2 infection!
A new study shows that #TMEM106B, a lysosomal transmembrane protein, can serve as an alternative receptor for SARS2 entry into ACE2-negative cells. Spike mute E484D increased TMEM106B binding, thereby enhancing TMEM106B-mediated entry 1/

Excited to announce the successful thesis defense by newly minted Dr. @graceschaack (seen riding her thesis gift, a T-Rex). Great public presentation and closed-door defense. Super proud to have her as a lab alumna, and returning to the clinic to complete her MD. Congrats!

New paper out in PNAS about how the ability of vertebrates to see is in part due to a gene we acquired from bacteria.

1/16 I recently gave a public lecture about SARS-CoV-2 origins that touched on some of the myths & misinformation promoted by some proponents of a lab leak origin (below).
But I'd like to discuss a couple others here that I didn't have time to get into.

No better timing than @womeninscience day.org to publish our study @NatureComms led by two female scientists💪. Congratulations to first author #franziskaguenl, @krischuns and all coauthors who made this possible. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
