23.6.17, New findings on transcription regulation in bacteria
The Schroeder lab has discovered a novel layer of transcription regulation in bacteria. The new findings have recently been published in the journal Molecular Cell:

The study –carried out in collaboration with other researchers from Vienna and from New York– describes a novel class of cis-acting RNA signals found ubiquitously in the E.coli genome that control bacterial transcription.
Our doctoral programme is very happy for this achievement of Nadezda, DK RNA Alumna and first author of this story, and the other co-authors of this study who are associated to our doctoral programme: Andrés and Philipp (current students) as well as Ivana and Bob (alumni).
