 Members of the Laboratory of Non-coding RNA and Genome Rearrangements, together with a team at the Institut Jacques Monod at Université Paris Cité and I2BC at Université Paris-Saclay (France), have identified a Paramecium homolog of Gametocyte specific factor 1 (Gtsf1) and have shown that it is essential for the selective degradation of small RNAs. The (…)

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 (…)

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, (…)

If you are interested in how microorganisms interact with plants at the molecular level and how this affects crops productivity, then on behalf of the Organizers we invite you to the W. Gajewski Auditorium (room E) on 14th of Nov. at 10:45 am for a series of 4 lectures. You will not only learn about (…)

We are pleased to announce that the DKMS Foundation grants for blood cancer research have been awarded to dr Paweł Ćwiek from IBB PAS and dr Tadeusz Kubicki from the Poznań Medical University. Congratulations! The project “Identification of the molecular mechanism of depletion of anti-CD19 CAR-T CD4+ by DLBCL lymphoma cells” was awarded in the (…)

Researchers from the University of Gdańsk and IBB PAS (Department of Antarctic Biology) have analyzed the age, size and distribution of populations of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba)  in the western Antarctic and have assessed their availability to predators such as penguins of the genus Pygoscelis. Krill plays a key role in the Antarctic ecosystem, where (…)
