Getting Started

I am thrilled to share the first manuscript from my group on identifying sequence and structural features promoting the condensation of RNAs that are organising highly interconnected RNA networks, thereby expanding our understanding of higher-order transcriptome assemblage. shorturl.at/pmLIj #RNASky

Has anyone spiked in a fluorescent or clickable ATP into an in-vitro poly-adenylation reaction to label some RNA? Or anything similar (e.g. clickable nucleotide)? Preferably using E. coli PAP. I don't care if it acts as a chain terminator - that might actually be preferred.

We are very excited to share our recent preprint on the nuclear import mechanism of the proteasome, driven by the multivalent adaptor AKIRIN2! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 1/6

1/10 Thrilled to share our latest research on 3′UTR-derived RNAs, now published in BMC Biology! doi.org/10.1186/s129... Here’s what we found:

Can MS2 loops stall reverse transcription? Does anyone know? I'm using Superscript IV at 50C.

Created an #RNAbiology feed to talk RNA science! Let's use it. @onamy.bsky.social @mgblango.bsky.social @graveley.bsky.social @nickingolia.bsky.social @hogglab.bsky.social @quaidmorris.bsky.social @snf.bsky.social @lucksmith.bsky.social

I'll be looking to hire another research associate (>$100k/year + benefits & retirement) shortly. Experience in molecular biology and pharmacology would be ideal, but not essential. Job ad will go up in a bit, but if anyone knows anyone looking I would be happy to chat with them.
