DAINA Grant for Prof. Matthias Bochtler

We are pleased to announce that Prof. Matthias Bochtler (Laboratory of Genome Engineering IBB PAS), together with Prof. Gintautas Tamulaitis (Vilnius University), have been awarded a grant in the NCN programme DAINA 3, intended for projects involving Polish-Lithuanian collaboration. They will jointly carry out the project “Novel effectors and terminators of antiviral CRISPR-Cas signaling pathways.” (…)

The dynamics of mRNA deadenylation

Scientists from IBB PAS, IIMCB, Aarhus University and University of Turku analyzed the dynamics of deadenylation of polyadenosine (pA) tails of mRNA in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae under basal and stress conditions. pA tails are an evolutionarily conserved modification of the 3′ end of mRNA, which is required for export of the transcript from the (…)

Investigating antibiotics resistance of Streptococcus pyogenes

Scientists from IBB PAS (DNA Sequencing and Synthesis Facility and Laboratory of Bacterial Drug Resistance) have studied Polish samples of antibiotic-resistant isolates of the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes, a specialized human pathogen which is among the top 10 causes of death from infectious diseases. In this study they describe detection of a novel hybrid Integrative-Conjugative Element, (…)
