Roadtrip. For some, it might be vacation, for others it's a roadtrip from their postdoc to their new lab. I interviewed two scientists who kindly shared personal insight into what that feels like. And yes, they know that many are not having the good fortunate of landing a faculty job just yet. A 🧵

How to spy on condensates - Nature Methods
Scientists track how these membraneless biomolecular foci self-organize for their cellular tasks.

In the nucleus, many intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) form condensates. What IDP sequence features drive this behavior? We developed CondenSeq, a high-throughput approach to measure nuclear condensate formation, and applied it to ~14,000 IDPs to find out! rdcu.be/eq975
Characterizing protein sequence determinants of nuclear condensates by high-throughput pooled imaging with CondenSeq
Nature Methods - CondenSeq is an imaging-based, high-throughput platform for characterizing condensate formation within the nuclear environment, uncovering the protein sequence features that...
