Heterobifunctional small molecules to modulate RNA function: Trends in Pharmacological Sciences …. Congratulations sandra and hamish (yuquan) and jess! cell.com/trends/pharmac…

We updated our methods to profile small molecule-RNA interactions (started 10 yrs ago), evolving to cellular transcriptome-wide, unbiased approaches. As further advances occur, they will be available as a preprint and at our lab's homepage biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Congratulations, Yuquan (Hamish) Tong. We ID RNAs bound by small molecules in cells versus ones cleaved by recruiting ribonuclease effector proteins. Amir also developed a pipeline to use the binding data to predict 3D rna small molecule pockets in human rnas, a hard. problem
