🔥🔥How does the LINE-1 retrotransposon jump around in the human genome? Super excited to present my postdoctoral work answering this published today @Nature together with twitterless Kathy Collins's lab and @NogalesLab @UCBerkeley nature.com/articles/s41586-0… A 🧵

Template and target-site recognition by human LINE-1 in retrotransposition

Nature - Human LINE-1 ORF2p relies on upstream single-stranded target DNA to position the adjacent duplex in the endonuclease active site for nicking of the longer DNA strand, with a single nick...

Have you wondered how a decades-old oocyte can give rise to a new embryo while other cells in the body age? Our study @Nature, spearheaded by @AidaRoNu, uncovers the mechanism that allows early #oocytes to maintain ROS-free #mitochondria nature.com/articles/s41586-0…🧵

Oocytes maintain ROS-free mitochondrial metabolism by suppressing complex I

Nature - Oocytes prevent the production of reactive oxygen species by remodelling the mitochondrial electron transport chain through elimination of complex I, a strategy that enables their...

Happy to present a new preprint from @MarileenD’s lab, in which we ask if a microtubule plus-end tracking comet is held together by interactions that also drive phase separation. The answer is not a clear ‘yes’ or ‘no’, so here goes the 🧵1/10

Once again: DO NOT TRACK THE NUMBER OF CASES. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO INCREASE AS TESTING COMES ONLINE. Instead, track the number of deaths per day. If the "doubling time" of these slows to more than 3 days, we're starting to bend the curve. thread: xitter.cf/SamWangPhD/status/1241…
Sam Wang is at samwang.bsky.social@SamWangPhD21 Mar 2020
Bookmark this. When the doubling time of deaths* gets above 3 days, we will have begun to get past the runaway period of the pandemic. Note the current doubling times for China (35 days) & South Korea (12 days). *not cases, which can be underdiagnosed ourworldindata.org/coronavir…

In a paper just published Rohit Pappu’s and my lab show that the number of stickers and their patterning determine LLPS of prion-like LCDs. Our findings lead to a numerical model that enables the prediction of full binodals from the sequence. science.sciencemag.org/conte… (1/15)

Terrific end to an amazing Physiology rotation! In two weeks, we found how #marine and xenopus #microtubules are made, poked on microtubules coated with proteins and studied how microtubule structures change with encapsulation and proteins! @MBLScience @MBLPhys
