Latest preprint from recent grad (!!) Caroline McCormick

Recently developed nanopore tools have identified psi modifications on mRNAs, but the functions remain unknown. From the list of candidate sites, we need to cull it down to the most interesting 🧵

Special Issue of RNA presents the past, present, and future of epitranscriptomics research with a focus on mRNA. It includes perspectives from experts in
the field, with the goal of encouraging discussions that will further advance this area of research bit.ly/4bSEfur

New CRISPR tech led by Xin Jin, PhD & Xinhe Zheng could revolutionize our understanding of #neurologicaldisorders . Highlighted in Cell, it examines brain cell types linked to key genes, uncovering disease drivers and enabling precise interventions. ow.ly/A8FE50RO7AU

I am stunned and truly honored that I am the recipient of the 2024 Raymond and Beverly Sackler International Prize in Biophysics - together with Leonid Mirny and Schwille Lab!

Our SpliceRUSH paper is officially out! If u have an RBP and would like to map its targets, u will think of CLIP. What if u have your favorite gene (e.g., a drug target) and want to map all the splicing-regulatory elements? SpliceRush is just for this!

How can we take genetic variants to their causal function & biology?

We develop in vivo Perturb-seq to identify how each mutation changes gene regulation networks, one cell at a time. Watch below video about this & stay tuned for new research from our lab ⬇️

⚠ NIH is implementing multiple changes that will impact the preparation and peer review of most grant applications submitted to NIH for due dates on or after Jan. 25, 2025. The overall goal is to simplify, clarify, or ensure greater fairness. Learn more: nexus.od.nih.gov/all/2024/04/04…
