How about a link between piRNAs and maternal histone mRNAs … Great collab with @sebastianfalk.bsky.social, @koenig-lab.bsky.social and Florian Steiner. #piRNA #histone #mRNA #maternal #RNAbiology #RNASky https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.06.697898v108 Jan 2026 08:51 +0000at://did:plc:b6pgdk4ywcvplc6b4can6yx3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbvm3dzeks2whttps://bsky.app/profile/reneketting.bsky.social/post/3mbm647in522kWhat a way to start the new year with one more submission to BioRxiv. This one is on how GTSF-1 enable RdRP activity in nematodes (for Piwi aficionados: correct, it does not affect Piwi😊) https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.23.696163v104 Jan 2026 14:47 +0000at://did:plc:b6pgdk4ywcvplc6b4can6yx3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbm647in522khttps://bsky.app/profile/reneketting.bsky.social/post/3mbm2wmu6tk2kThis nicely shows how the city of Mainz prioritizes bike-usage…one can get sued for not cleaning the walkway along your house, but the city leaves bike trails (but not car lanes of course) covered in ice…04 Jan 2026 13:50 +0000at://did:plc:b6pgdk4ywcvplc6b4can6yx3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbm2wmu6tk2khttps://bsky.app/profile/reneketting.bsky.social/post/3malfrldel22uHappy to share two BioRxiv manuscripts from our lab.
