How to recapitulate in vitro what happens in cells? Not easy! We investigated how guanine (G)-rich sequences interact with one another to decipher G4-associated gene expression regulation

A novel biotechnological application for DNA G-quadruplex #G4, used for controlling the activity of a CRISPR-Cas12a device used for diagnosing human viral infection (HPV) in a spatio-temporal manner
Now in Anal. Chem.: https://t.co/a1LgElJtnD
The photoMultiTASQ is a new molecular tool to investigate G-quadruplex #G4 biology, notably for identifying G4 binding proteins by Chem-CLIP (chemical cross-linking and isolation by pull-down)

ICMUB is proud to have been associated with the very 1st meeting on DNA/RNA junctions IMAJ#1 organized by @dmonchaud.bsky.social and funded by @CNRSchimie (IRN). The meeting took place in Paris from 12 to 14 May, 2025 and was a real success! Great talks and enriching discussions!
@icmub was associated to a consortium steered by @crctoncopole to decipher how G-quadruplex #G4 RNA can be leveraged for mitochondrial translation-targeted therapy to fight against cancers

In this @STARProtocols article, J. Mitteaux & D. Monchaud from @icmub describe in a step-by-step manner how to fish RNA G-quadruplex #G4 out from human cells using commercially available TASQs, either BioCyTASQ (https://t.co/Ryw704F8T7) or MultiTASQ (https://t.co/gV5Jgpww59)
Another beautiful collaboration between @ICMUB and @UTHealthHouston@McGovernMed which aims at deciphering the roles that G-quadruplex #G4 DNA and RNA play in human cells using chemical biology means.
@CNRS@CNRSchimie @univbourgogne
A free-flowing and spirited discussion on @icmub research related to DNA structure oddities (G-quadruplex, #G4) that may have a profound impact on our daily lives (aging and age-related diseases).
Thanks to the CNRS (@CNRS@CNRSchimie@CNRS_Centre_Est) for this opportunity
An @icmub contribution aiming at deciphering the roles that a peculiar DNA structure known as G-quadruplex #G4 plays in a neurodegenerative disease (XDP) published in @NAR_Open 👍👍👍
