It was a pleasure hosting Jasper Verwilt @JVerwilt from Sleegers Lab @SleegersLab in our lab for 3 weeks, focusing on establishing a Nano3PCR-seq protocol to capture cell-free RNA biomarkers in human biofluids β Jasper it was great having you with us, hope to see you again!π
(8/8) This project was co-led by Mie Monti and Hasan Yilmaz in a fruitful collaboration between the @NovoaLab, @ImmaginaBiotech and the #AnaSoares Lab.π
New preprint released πͺ
Which tRNAs are used by ribosomes during translation?
We introduce tRIBO-seq, a nanopore method to sequence ribosome-associated tRNAs and track how the active tRNA pool changes across stress conditions.

A thread π§΅
(7/8) Overall, tRIBO-seq provides a simple way to profile the active tRNAome, capturing abundance, modifications and fragmentation from actively translating ribosomes.
Please join us in congratulating Gregor @GDiensthuber
on successfully defending his PhD π A proud moment for the whole lab 𧬠Thanks for being such a great colleague and lab mate! Weβre excited to see where your science takes you next! π
Last week our Lab participated in the @CRGenomica
PhD Symposium! Huge congrats to Cristina Petrella and Leda Katopodi for their successful talks, and @GDiensthuber for reaching the final stage of his PhD! Big thanks to the CRG and the PhD community for a science-packed eventπ
It was our pleasure to host James Bryson (BRIC, Copenhagen) at @CRGenomica through the EU-LIFE Postdoctoral Exchange Program! Thanks to James for presenting his work on advanced CRISPR tools for epitranscriptomic research, and to @EULIFE_news for this opportunity!π§¬βοΈ#EULIFE#CRG
𧬠New review on nanopore base-calling models is out!
Congrats to Sonia Cruciani (former Novoa Lab PhD, now postdoc at the Deplancke Lab, EPFL) and @EvaMariaNovoa

π§¬Novoa Lab had a great time at the Genome Biology Program Retreat'25!
Big thanks to the organisers for such an inspiring and fun event π
Congrats to @mie_monti for being part of the organising team and to @oguzhanbegik for giving a fantastic talk!
Novoa Lab joined the PRBB Open Day 2025π¬π§¬π @the_prbb to share our passion for RNA research with the public. Thanks to everyone who came to explore science with us and thanks organisers for making this event possible! #PRBBOpenDay#OpenScience
Fresh preprint from the @NovoaLab!ππ Do you want to barcode up to 96 #RNA samples in your #nanopore flowcells? How well do RNA #modification-aware models perform? What if there is #noBasecallingModel for your modification-of-interest? Find it out here!πhttps://t.co/PwAWfhy9ra
Last month, the @NovoaLab attended the Premis Nacionals de Recerca ceremony to celebrate @EvaMariaNovoa receiving the National Young Researcher Award!ππ
Huge congratulations again, Eva - an incredible and well-deserved recognition! π§¬π
Another epic Novoa Lab retreat in the books!
A big thank you to everyone who made it such a success β from the science-packed discussions and hands-on workshops to the brainstorming, games, sunny pool sessions, and delicious BBQs. And special thanks to the organizers!
