Thrilled to be part of this amazing collaboration exploring the conformational space and structural dynamics of heterogeneous RNAs - @TzaiYun @Degenhardt_MFS @YunXingWangLab @jinweizhang. Excited to see our work published in @Nature just in time for the holidays!

[Jinwei Zhang Lab @jinweizhang]

Thank you @sarakosman @NatureSMB for featuring our two studies on #MALAT1 & #NEAT1 on the Nov cover! Led by @IliasSkeparnias we describe how #lncRNA partially mimic #tRNA structure for their maturation and #mascRNA #menRNA biogenesis. https://t.co/cK0MNirJMT

How to repurpose a #tRNA enzyme into a global stress sensor? Co-led by @CharlesBNader, Swati Gaikwad, Soheila Bahmanjah, w/ Alan Hinnebusch lab, in
@PNASNews, we describe how stress kinase Gcn2 adopts and molds Histidyl-tRNA synthetase as a regulatory hub. https://t.co/1IjEEPuGJ6

How many different things can you grab using a small β-barrel? Sugars, #DNA,#RNA,#tRNA? All of the above. Led by Aline Umuhire Juru, Rodolfo Ghirlando @NatureComms, we find a class of OB-folds in Trbp and Arc1p recognize tRNAs by their universal 3’ ends. https://t.co/dJCbd7Z7Mo

Excited to share our latest story revealing an RNA-centric mechanism where menRNA drives its own conformational isomerization and fate. @jinweizhang @NatureSMB Check it out 👇

How does one #tRNA-mimicking mascRNA from #MALAT1 get one CCA tail and is stable, while menRNA from #NEAT1 receives two marking it for decay? We uncover a #riboswitch-like mechanism where menRNA self-destructs by getting seconds.@IliasSkeparnias @NatureSMB https://t.co/qAEvXkvYq1

[Ilias Skeparnias @IliasSkeparnias]

Happy to share our new study defining the structural and molecular mechanisms of #MALAT1 RNA maturation. Many thanks to all the co-authors who contributed to this work! Check it out in @NatureSMB 👇

[Jinwei Zhang Lab @jinweizhang]

What do long noncoding RNAs actually look like? A hodgepodge of twisted #RNA elements on a string? You’d be right. Happy to share new paper on #MALAT1 @NatureSMB led by @IliasSkeparnias w/@CharlesBNader Dimitrios Anastasakis @MarkusHafner4 @YunXingWangLab https://t.co/gIxnXo925t

📢An elegant dance between replication and histone retention for epigenetic inheritance!🥳Our new work shows that heterochromatin domains are specialized replication zones that preserve parental modified histones to ensure self-templated chromatin assembly https://t.co/JWXeySNvBC

[Cretan RNA salon @CretanRna]

Excited about our first #RNAsalon! On Dec 20th🎄we are hosting Marina Vidaki (https://t.co/J61VKNu0m8) and Costas Stathopoulos (@costas_stath) at 12:00 CET. Zoom https://t.co/qy0oJS6iyO @IMBB_FORTH Supported by the @RNASociety and @lexogen

Delighted for the successful 9th Young Scientists Forum of @HSBMB_official
Great talks from young scientists and invited speakers!

@SonyKapoor He did say that Renzi is a friend.But he said he expects him to take action because the Italians may ask for more too.

@BirdLawDS Not sure if trolling.

@astrointerest Magnificent

[Athanasios-Nasir Shaukat @NasosSh]

@lacuna_coil It really gets me psyched up. great vid.

[Athanasios-Nasir Shaukat @NasosSh]

@OtakuDao I hope the other weekdays are school-free...

[Athanasios-Nasir Shaukat @NasosSh]

@OtakuDao What are you studying? if i may ask
