Our latest work on mRNA structure and splicing where Jaya Kumar in my lab predicted the footprint of the spliceosome on pre-mRNAs and used this in conjunction with endogenous structure probing to predict PSI in MAPT.

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!
Skimmed through my PhD lab notebook one last time this week - almost brought me into tears. My lab notebook is like a diary of grad school, recorded all the raw emotions, and also how often my experiments failed. Like, most of the time actually and it was pretty hard lol. 🥲🥲🥲
Congratulations are in order for CHG Director Trudy Mackay! She was elected to the American Philosophical Society for her extraordinary accomplishments in the field of Biological Sciences. Other notable 2021 inductees include @neiltyson and @darrenwalker.
We are hosting a FREE and open symposium on RNA structure. Flyer below. Schedule details to come in the coming days, but reserve June 24-25! Retweet!

For journal club, we read a ribosomal RNA depletion paper (RTR2D) and plan to try it out in for samples in the lab! Check it out here: https://t.co/ST06kHyiFt
Journal Club: We discussed Gawroński, et al.'s paper on the interplay between RNA structure and translational regulation in response to environmental conditions (plants - low or high light). This is a great paper and discussion (summed up https://t.co/yht0MBmb5A).
First tests with the new implementation of my drawing algorithm for #RNA 2D named booquet. 600 @RfamDB entries drawn and merged into a single picture with #imagemagick. Really satisfying to see all these different architectures. #visualization#bioinformatics
Excited to be looking for a new colleague at the Clemson Center for Human Genetics - https://t.co/TkmdjSKppj. Review begins Feb 15th. Hoping for more RNA biologists to join us!
