DNA uses thymine (T); RNA uses uracil (U) instead. Why??
Somehow I only recently learned the reasons and it’s quite neat. And as is typical in biology there are still open questions about it 🧵
I enjoyed Wah Chiu’s talk here at #ncrna2022, his work in collaboration @RDasLab on L-21 group I intron structure brought back excellent memories of misfolding RNAs!
@ewang2323@bio_eclipse Nevermind, I managed to find the original thread and find the link to your very nice Cellstemcell paper! And you did your due diligence and submitted to GEO at https://t.co/x7u2bjOMv1. One question, do you remember which GRC38 version you used?
Registration in open for the NC RNA 2022 tool and target meeting, with a great lineup of speakers. Please do consider registering at https://t.co/XMY9WTi1Rd!!
RNA structure landscape of S. cerevisiae introns https://t.co/mGptufc1R9 Very nice preprint by @RDasLab and @RiboHipster on pre-mRNA structure, glad to see we aren't the only ones thinking structure has got to be doing something in those introns!
Continuing with a truly outstanding slate of speakers @FASEBorg Dr. Silvia Ramos from @UNC_BCBP described some of her recent work defining the role of ZFP36L2 in regulating specific RNA targets in mice recently published in @NAR_Open #RNADecay#PCGE22
Clearly the best way to get everyone in your lab to laugh is to make a joke at the expense of the PI! #science#RNA I think we are going to use this one on https://t.co/QHJ6FSGsv4
Our latest work on mRNA structure and splicing where Jaya Kumar in my lab predicted the footprint of the spliceosome on pre-mRNAs and used this in conjunction with endogenous structure probing to predict PSI in MAPT.
