We have submitted our second paper on the topic the RNA world in collaboration with @PhilHolliger based on experimental work by @EmilLK2 and @mcrae_ewan in the @AndersenBioLab. Preprint is available on bioRxiv! Here comes a short explanation of the background and content.🧵1/7:

Nice news story about our recent research into the mythical RNA world, where we have explored the structure of the (proposed) central player: the RNA replicase. Thanks to @EmilLK2, @mcrae_ewan, @PhilHolliger and coauthors for making the research possible. sciencenews.dk/en/rna-resear…

Det har faglige konsekvenser, når man reducerer uddannelser fra 2 til 1 år. Det skal #dkpol vide, når man laver så gennemgribende indgreb på #DKuni, som @regeringDK lægger op til. @kristian_lauta med vigtige input til @folketinget's Uddannelses- og Forskningsudvalg. #uddpol

I was very pleased when @EmilLK2 and @PhilHolliger approached me, wanting to know the structure of RNA mincircles as they undertake rolling circle amplification. Here is the result of our simulations, now published in @eLife :
All steps of a viroid-like replication cycle can be catalyzed by RNA alone. elifesciences.org/articles/7…

We are looking for a postdoc at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK: nature.com/naturecareers/job…. Candidates should have a strong background in molecular biology and technology development, ideally including in vitro evolution and machine learning. Please RT!

New paper from my group "Rollling circle synthesis catalyzed by RNA": elifesciences.org/articles/7…. Led by xitter.gq/EmilLK2 and a great collaboration with xitter.gq/ANoyLab in York. We show that RNA alone can catalyze all the steps of a viroid-like replication cycle.
