Introns have a hidden regulatory role! 🧬🎉
Delighted to share our latest paper showing that inefficiently spliced introns and spliceosomal proteins direct RNA methylation, engaging RNAi to silence retrotransposons and regulate gene expression

Today RNA may seem overshadowed by its glamorous cousin DNA, but many scientists think RNA molecules were the star players in the origin of life. By both storing genetic information and copying themselves, they might have touched off the march of evolution that produced increasingly complex life forms.
So far, researchers haven’t found RNAs that can replicate themselves, a key feature of living things. But they now have something close.
In a new paper, researchers report creating RNAs that can generate a sort of mirror image of themselves and use that template to generate the original. Learn more: https://t.co/lYjYdSD8X5

🔬 Decoding Silencing: How Heterochromatin Transcribes to Silence Itself!
🧬Our latest research reveals how a pioneer transcription factor-like complex PhpC/NF-Y infiltrates repressive heterochromatin, generating transcripts with hidden introns that kickstart RNAi-mediated heterochromatin formation
