Best acknowledgment section ever 😂

very cool study! Somehow the story feels like it's got m6A written all over it. Malat1 running the show again!

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

The Nobel Prize winner Thomas Cech's recent essay in the The New York Times highlights #RNA as the molecule set to redefine the future of science. While DNA has historically dominated research, RNA is emerging as a cornerstone for new scientific breakthroughs. In the essay, Cech recounts his

The September issue is live nature.com/nbt/volumes/42… Our cover shows cellular mRNA modified by m⁶A, which is depicted as a gemstone. Marayati et al. develop GEMS, a genetically encoded m⁶A sensor that can report changes in m⁶A in living cells go.nature.com/41N2h67

We are excited to have our m6A sensor technology featured on the cover of the latest issue of Nature Biotechnology. Congratulations again to first author B. Fadi Marayati, Ph.D. and @TheHornerLab and Holley Lab for their great contributions! nature.com/nbt/volumes/42…

Excited to share our latest work developing DART transgenic mice and using them to profile m6A in single cells of the mouse brain. A fantastic study led by Matt Tegowski with contributions from Holley Lab nature.com/articles/s4159…

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.
