Mission DNA: Accomplished! 🧬 NUCLEATE researchers from @zarnack-group.bsky.social and @koenig-lab.bsky.social hosted a group of 4th graders for 2 days of science. From extracting DNA to imaging cells via microscope, and touring the labs, we might have just met the next gen of scientists! 🧠

Today, researchers from @nucleate-cluster.bsky.social, TRR 319, @sfb1551.bsky.social, and @sfb1361.bsky.social visited a primary school in Würzburg to show the fascinating world of DNA! 🧬 Thanks to the great team from the König and @zarnack-group.bsky.social labs at @uni-wuerzburg.de! #MissionDNA

Welcome to the official account of the NUCLEATE Cluster of Excellence👋🧬 We’re building a community around nucleic acid sciences and technology, and innovation 🚀 Expect research highlights, collaborations, events, and opportunities — with open positions coming soon. #Biotech #Science #RNA #Research

Excited to share our new collaborative paper in @narjournal.bsky.social on the three-in-one role of SAM68 in cardiomyocyte development! Great teamwork with @Elias Bechara, @Gian Gaetano Tartaglia groups, and all collaborators

NAR breakthrough alert 🎉 Joint work with @mfeldbruegge.bsky.social on Rrm4. We dissect its modular RRM binding code & how domain combinations shape RNA interactions. Like finding needles in a haystack, comparative iCLIP sorts functional vs accessory sites. Work by Nina & @srimeenakshi.bsky.social

Breakthrough article 😊 Joint effort of teams Zarnack & König & Feldbrügge clarifies how multiple RNA-binding domains cooperate to identify functional important binding sites in vivo doi.org/10.1093/nar/... @zarnack-group.bsky.social @könig-lab.bsky.social @mibinet.bsky.social #EMBOrnaLocalization

The iCLIP3 protocol was developed by Vlado Despic in a close and fun collaboration with @koenig-lab.bsky.social and @zarnack-group.bsky.social. The protocol was inspired by and successfully tested in the @embo.org #iCLIPcourse thanks to Elias Bechara, Chris Sibley and @rosario-avolio.bsky.social

We are excited to share our new preprint: iCLIP3 — an improved protocol for transcriptome-wide mapping of protein–RNA interactions at single-nucleotide resolution.

Thank you to all who attended our inaugural lecture on Friday. We greatly value the interest, the collegial atmosphere and the support. @zarnack-group.bsky.social @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social #WueBiT

Thanks for a wonderful inaugural lecture event by Kathi Zarnack @zarnack-group.bsky.social & Sabine Fischer @cctb-wue.bsky.social. Packed lecture hall indicates the interest in bioinformatics & computational biology. Very happy to have you as colleagues @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social

Many thanks to everyone who joined on Friday and made it such a memorable afternoon—we greatly appreciate the warm welcome in Würzburg! @cctb-wue.bsky.social @biologie-uniwue.bsky.social #WueBiT

Amazing inaugural lecture double feature today by Kathi Zarnack @zarnack-group.bsky.social and Sabine Fischer! @cctb-wue.bsky.social. Here’s to formalising a core bioinformatics, computational and theoretical biology competence @uni-wuerzburg.de

I greatly enjoyed giving a keynote lecture at the Swiss RNA Workshop 2026. Excellent discussions and a vibrant RNA community. @nccr-rna-disease.bsky.social #RNABiology

Our new Cluster for Nucleic Acid Sciences and Technologies has kicked off in Eichstätt. NUCLEATE unites experts from Würzburg and Munich to advance nucleic acid science and develop future medical applications. #NUCLEATE #RNA #DNA #Biomedicine @uni-wuerzburg.de @lmumuenchen.bsky.social @tum.de

Great time visiting the groups of Carmo Fonseca, Joel Perez-Perri, and Nuno Morais (@nmoraislab.bsky.social) at Gulbenkian Institute for Molecular Medicine (GIMM) in Lisbon 🇵🇹 Thanks for great discussions on nuclear speckles, RNA-binding proteins, and other exciting topics! #ScienceVisit #RNA #GIMM

Last week, our amazing PhD student Dominik Stroh represented the lab at the 8th EU–US Conference on Endogenous DNA Damage & Repair in Trondheim, Norway 🧬🇳🇴 He nailed his poster and short pitch. Great job sharing your research with the international DNA repair community! 🙌 #DNArepair #SFB1361

I am sooo excited. Starting tomorrow the next edition of the fabulous #emboiclip2 course begins. @koenig-lab.bsky.social, @zarnack-group.bsky.social, moi & Elias Bechara will present 3 improvements to the method, a semi-automated workflow for data analysis and an exciting line up of speakers. Ready?
