Our joint work with the Vaucheret lab showing that decapping prevents endogenous mRNA to enter silencing and therefore producing rogue siRNAs has just been published. And it is Open Access (Martinez et al. NAR 2015)

SaschaLaubinger (ZMBP, Tübingen University) visited the lab upon the first thesis advisory committee of Andrea. He presented his work on miRNA processing.

Starting in 2015, the lab will be supported by a generous grant from the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation.

The lab is actively organizing and participating to TNAM2014 which will be hosted in the prestigious historical building of the University. We are all very excited by an amazing line up of speakers and a great poster session (don’t miss Amaya and Mouli’s posters!).

Welcome to Andrea Scarpa who joins the lab for his PhD.

We are thrilled to host Dr. Javier Palatnik from the IBR Rosario (Argentina). Javier presented his very nice work on the biology of miRNA-containing networks in leaves and root growth.

Alexis and Mouli will be presenting their results on RNA turnover and Silencing in Arabidopsis thaliana at the non-coding RNA meeting hosted at the DKFZ.

Nadine Geier successfully defended her Bsc thesis. Congratulation Nadine!

Amaya represented the lab in West Sussex (UK) for the “Coordinating Cell Polarity” workshop.

Alexis went to Montpellier to present the lab work on lateral root morphogenesis during the Plants Growth and Modeling meeting.
