Very excited to be sharing our new paper, just out in Nature Cell Biology! https://t.co/uCk077bPo2

The big question we investigate: How do migrating cells put their front 🔴 and back 🔵 in the right place?

Excited to share our latest work!
The oncogenic m5C writer NSUN2 achieves substrate specificity by recognizing RNA structure and conformational dynamics. RNA folding shapes methylation! Congratulations to the team! Thanks to our colleagues @UTSWMedCenter

Proud milestone for our lab. Congrats to our first two graduate students, Lizz Maurais, PhD, and Justin Engel, PhD! @UTSWGradSchool

We also celebrated Lizz’s last day as she moves on to an exciting new adventure @biogen. Good luck Lizz!

[Peter Ly @PeterLyLab]

Had a fun conversation with @ScienceNews about our recent findings. Thanks for covering our work!

🧵👇 for @PeterLyLab's deep-dive into the deets of his latest #relentlessdiscovery. Worth a 🔖

[Children’s Research Institute at UT Southwestern @CRI_UTSW]

ONLINE NOW in @CellCellPress: @PeterLyLab has discovered large pieces of DNA can transfer directly between human cells & that DNA can persist, change how the recipient cell functions. Read more about this #relentlessdiscovery ⬇️ https://t.co/cmNRqAfXaR

#thesisThursday: Been a week since Greg Mannino from @Zhu_Lab successfully defended! Congrats, Dr. Mannino 😎 and best of luck continuing the #relentlessdiscovery as a postdoc at @WashU.

[Children’s Research Institute at UT Southwestern @CRI_UTSW]

We already thought @Zhu_Lab hung the (liver-shaped) moon🌙 & now his #relentlessdiscovery is promulgated. Check out Chp 6, "When Our Bodies Autocorrect," p140 to read how somatic mutations could give us "hope." Great topic, @rkhamsi! Watch out #booktok 🤓

[Children’s Research Institute at UT Southwestern @CRI_UTSW]

Congrats, @WalterWChen1! 🎉 The next CRI postdoc off to pursue more #relentlessdiscovery

[Children’s Research Institute at UT Southwestern @CRI_UTSW]

ONLINE NOW in @NatMetabolism: McBrayer Lab & first-author @milan95 have discovered cell maturity determines pyrimidine synthesis pathway preference using their new nitrogen metabolism profiling platform, organoid model. Read more ⬇️

Woohoo! Go Ralph!

[Kenneth Loi @kenjmloi]

Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR.

We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets.
