Kilian joined our group. We wish him a warm welcome a lot of success and fun!

Congratulations to Chris for a great defense of his PhD! We wish you all the best!

We welcome Teresa in our group and wish her a lot of success and fun!

Fantastic collaboration with the Wolf lab. Acute depletion of SPT6 analyzed with 4sU-seq, ChIP-seq, 4sUDRB-seq and SLAM-seq, including mathematical modeling and new computational concepts (LFC regression, DRB wave-front estimation / POL 2 termination zone decline via negative binomial regression, modeling transcriptional kinetics w/o steady-state using SLAM-seq)

SLAM-seq and iCLIP identified the antiviral protein ZAP to bind and destabilize human cytomegalovirus UL4/5 transcripts. Very cool application of SLAM-seq to distinguish transcriptional regulation from RNA destabilization, and very nice collaboration with the Brinkmann lab and the Munschauer lab.
