Jayashree Kumar

PhD student in Bioinformatics at UNC Chapel Hill, studying RNA structure and splicing

[Justin Waldern @jwaldern]

Last week, the first paper from my postdoc was published with @JayashreeKumar and @alaederach! We analyzed distributions of disease-associated variation in the transcriptome & described mechanisms of RNA structure-based regulation. Check it out!

Combined effort with @LackeyLab, @jwaldern, Abhishek Dey, Dave Mathews and my fantastic PI @alaederach

What I've been working on for the last three years of grad school! We combined RNA structure modeling and splicing regulatory elements to predict the effects of splicing variants around exon-intron junctions using MAPT pre-cursor mRNA as a model. https://t.co/P2Y6IMXbeC

@LackeyLab @alaederach @biorxivpreprint Thanks for the shoutout @LackeyLab, couldn't have done it with you!

[RNAgirl @LackeyLab]

I'm excited to see the pre-cursor RNA structure/splicing work graduate student Jaya Kumar (@JayashreeKumar, @alaederach) and I did together out in @biorxivpreprint! We used MAPT precursor RNA as a model to understand genetic variation, RNA structure and splicing!

What was I doing in high school?!? Loved the RiboSNitch comparison to the Golden Snitch in HP!

[Alain Laederach @alaederach]

Excellent summary of riboSNitches by a very talented high school student on Medium, thanks for the writeup Mukundh Murthy! https://t.co/AQkuuaDx3h

My PI @alaederach being recognized at our most recent RNA society of NC conference! Congrats and well-deserved!

[Massive Science @massivesci]

Today a #Nobel Prize was awarded for work on dark matter. Vera Rubin was the scientist who originally predicted dark matter's existence. She died three years ago without seeing the award.

Come join us this Friday, April 12th from 9.30am-3.30pm at MBRB for our 5th annual Women in Science symposium celebrating female scientists who have trained at UNC!
The panel featuring former UNC trainees will begin at 10am and our keynote Dr. Allyson Evans will speak at 2pm.

[Lauren Donoghue @Laurenjdonoghue]

Kicking off the 5th year of UNC How to Learn to Code soon. Please share with anyone who might be interested. No background expected (except for Intermediate Python) and trainees/staff/faculty all welcome!

[UNC Women in Science @UNC_WINS]

Just two days left to submit abstracts for the poster presentation!
Win $400 and $200 travel awards for best poster presentations.

Very nice summary of our most recent riboSNitch paper in the FKBP5 3’ UTR by the NIH director Francis Collins, congrats to @kutchko and Lela Lackey, co-authors and RNA structural scientists extraordinaire! https://t.co/m1bG6YWvRj

[Purvis Lab @purvislab]

I'm very excited to post *two* tenure-track positions in UNC's new Computational Medicine program. Seeking candidates that integrate modern computational approaches to investigate the molecular mechanisms dysregulated in human diseases: https://t.co/UcPXRnAbni. Please share!

Big fan of @AbdulElSayed who is running to be Governor of Michigan. He's rejecting corporate donations and raising money for his campaign using individual donations. https://t.co/LujZJVUeYD

WOW... Simply Amazing! @UNC_WINS keynote speaker & @sacnas co-founder @LydiaVK is an inspiration and has contributed so much to science! What a gift to have met her! @IMEUNC @UNC_IMSD
