@aureliencourtois.bsky.social🐙 Octopuses appear to have evolved a ribosomal innovation that increases protein translation fidelity. *suggests that evolution can tune core components of the proteostasis machinery, extending adaptation beyond gene regulation www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Show PostThe 2nd part of my postdoc is now out as a preprint! A challenging but fulfilling team effort to perform genome editing in opossums. We found that the lncRNA RSX is essential to initiate X-inactivation in marsupials 🦘 A long-standing question since the discovery that Xist is absent in marsupials 👇
