Where are my RNA peaks/sites?
Excited to share our new preprint introducing #PeakLocus!
A fast, lightweight, transcript-aware tool for annotating RNA modification peaks and genomic sites.

First announced patient dosing of an in vivo prime editing treatment (to correct ATP7B H1069Q, one of the most common genetic causes of Wilson disease). There are now at least three prime editing clinical trials underway—for CGD (ex vivo, with positive clinical outcomes), for Wilson disease (in vivo), and for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD, in vivo).
I am seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join my lab. If you are interested in genetics and epigenetics, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].
Could UC Berkeley’s Richmond Sarpong win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry?
In my opinion, it is just a matter of time before he wins the Nobel Prize. While I am incredibly proud to call him a friend, a former UC Berkeley colleague, and a fellow Ghanaian, my assessment is purely scientific: his pioneering work fundamentally reshapes how chemists around the world build and dismantle matter.
As the pioneer of single-atom "skeletal editing," Richmond has revolutionized medicinal chemistry. Instead of building complex drug analogs from scratch over dozens of arduous steps, chemists can now take an abundant natural core and swap a single carbon atom for a nitrogen atom. This drastically slashes drug discovery timelines.
Beyond this, his contributions to synthetic organic chemistry are monumental:
🔹 He changed how we approach complex, polycyclic structures, using graph theory network logic to evaluate molecular bonds.
🔹 He has achieved the total synthesis of historically elusive, therapeutic natural product families.
🔹 He is the recipient of the 2026 Pedler Prize from the Royal Society of Chemistry and the 2025 Inhoffen Medal, Germany's top honor for natural product synthesis.
But Richmond’s impact goes far beyond the lab bench in California. Having spent part of his childhood in Bolgatanga, in Ghana, his passion for chemistry was sparked by seeing firsthand the effectiveness of the drug ivermectin in combating river blindness in Ghana.
Today, he actively lifts as he climbs, having supported an entire generation of chemists in Ghana with equipment, collaborations and more.
He poetically describes himself and his colleagues as "chemical architects, carpenters, and masons," creatively constructing the natural products that form the basis of modern medicine.
I strongly believe he will ultimately win the Nobel Prize.
Watch his inspiring TEDx talk, "The Face of Disease in Sub-Saharan Africa":

Men don't chase love. They chase respect. Submission is part of the equation.
You hear women complaining that “when my man had nothing, I took care of him but now he’s got money, he doesn’t care about me.”
Yes, you took care of him but how did you make him feel when he was at zero. Men are treated like a burden when they're broke.
A man will never forget your tone when he was broke. He will never forget how worthless you treated him when he was at rock bottom. How your eyes rolled when he was talking to you. How you refused to answer when he asked a question.
He will tolerate being shouted at and under-looked but that very mistreatment shall re-energise him to work on himself.
A man forgets what you gave him. He never forgets how you looked at him broke. That look becomes fuel.
dating to marry will make you realize that the "plenty of fish in the sea" narrative is false. alot of people are really not worth that level of intimacy

@_owurakuampofo I always say there’s no single player in the Ghanaian national team who would’ve done what Suarez did in 2010. The nice guy never wins at ANYTHING!
