Latest work from our next door neighbors! #RNAsky #RNAbiology

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78) I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine 1/n

Our paper out in eLife. Full-length direct RNA #nanopore sequencing uncovers 5' #RNA shortening upon cellular #stress that depends on ✅ stress-granules and #XRN1 but ❌ not poly(A) or cap removal elifesciences.org/articles/96284 🤔 useful to further reduce translational load during #ISR? #RNAbiology

If you want to hear me rant about #RNA, #stress, #aging, #senescence come join me at the RNA collaborative seminar tomorrow Wed 4pm (EST) #RNAsociety #RNAsky #RNAbiology

circRNAs as tools for gene silencing, similar to microRNA-mediated gene silencing. Do we also need circRNA target prediction software? Circular RNAs trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay: Molecular Cell

SERVICE UPDATE We normally don't ask you to "share like and subscribe" but please distribute this. You are now able to delete the link after it embeds on your post so you can get those precious extra characters, and we will catch your post mentioning research. #AcademicSky #Medsky #HigherEd

Our latest work is out in Nature today! Using smFRET, we directly visualized recruitment of the eIF4F complex to the 5' cap of eukaryotic mRNAs and formation of an activated mRNA. Our findings reveal new and surprising roles for each eIF4F component. 1/3 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Not looking to start a debate on #nextflow vs. #snakemake, but curious about their ease of adoption in a typical lab setting with ~4-year PhD/postdoc turnover. How do you feel newcomers adapt to each? Would you recommend one for easier onboarding? Feedback appreciated! #genomics #bioinformatics

How can physics define universal laws for computation, from cells and chips to brains? In this @pnas.org Perspective, led by @sfiscience.bsky.social David Wolpert and Jan Korbel, they suggest how Stochastic Thermodynamics can provide the proper framework pnas.org/doi/epub/10....

Tips for scientist that are joining bsky. Super helpful to fill out your profile *before* you follow anyone. Listing interests and what you do helps a lot. At least one post, also helps to set the tone. Then starter packs will help you find accounts. Also ask to be added when within your expertise.

Low #ribosome content in #senescence (right) reduces upstream ORF bypass (gold line) on ATF4 #RNA, despite high eIF2α-P (green). ➡️ Prevents #ISR activation and remodels the secretome (red). #aging #cancer #GeroSky

Very nice work!

Nanopore RNA-seq across six tissues x six species (five mammals + chicken) reveals conserved alt splicing and m6a mods

Updated Aging Starter Pack!! People and labs interested in aging 😀 Let me know if you'd like to be added! go.bsky.app/5UXXaDA

🚨 Update for #RNA science fans: I checked on #Bsky registry, and here is a 'condensate' (😆) of all #RNA #RNAsky starter packs so far: 1. General RNA biology #1 go.bsky.app/RN6HnZp

Among so many amazing starter packs, but none focused on RNA splicing - so we made one! Check out the accounts we’ve included so far, and let us know if you’d like to be added or have suggestions! go.bsky.app/TigRnmC #rnasplicing

Biomolecular condensate starter pack! Trying to compile & to bring together biomolecular condensate enthusiasts & critics! Please join this non-exhaustive (sorry!) collection & just ping me for addition. #condensates, #phaseseparation, #granules, #IDPs go.bsky.app/NFqmffa

I wrote about the National Institutes of Health and the various serious and unserious proposals for NIH reform that have been floating around. It is important to understand how this agency actually functions and point criticism at the right problems. A short 🧵:
