Ran Blekhman @wolfgangkhuber's article articulating what such artifact might be is a good one. cell.com/cell-systems/f…

Congratulations to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Given for their work on mRNA, modified nucleotides, translation, and immune evasion. This is essentially a Nobel Prize for RNA!

New preprint in collaboration with the Durham’s lab and Gene Yeo’s Lab at UC San Diego. We discovered that neurons localize the synthesis of chaperones to their dendrites to sustain protein homeostasis upon stress. Kudos to Celia and team for the hard work! 👇🏻 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My new obsession is asking DALL-E 3 for diagrams of complicated things. This is "please create a clearly labeled diagram of how reverse genetics works"

Happy to receive support from Brain Canada for my research on RNA dysregulation in ALS 🙂

Hello plasmidsaurus (and Full Circle) users! I've made a package which converts low-conf. bases to LOWER CASE so you can EASILY spot them in the fasta file. It also RE-INDEXES the sequencing results to match your map. Imagine the time you will save! github.com/Delayed-Gitifi…

Looking forward to host David Shechner SheqLab next Monday Nov 20 11:30 IRCM. If you’re in Montreal join us to hear his talk on #RNA compartmentalization & functionalization. McGillRNA BiochimieUdeM McGill Biochemistry RiboClub mtlRNAsalon ircm.qc.ca/en/events-deta…

I’ve seen ppl claim that we can just abandon academia: the private market can take care of everything, including funding research. This was especially prominent after Kariko won the Nobel Prize. I’m usually the in-house capitalist, but here I don’t agree! Below is a nice piece

Congratulations to Ana for receiving a Pierre Auger Morissette Capacity-Building Award in ALS Research! Ana’s research aims to address RNA-induced cell transport issues, providing insights for therapeutic strategies to treat #ALS. #RisingStarTuesday

Join us May 23-24 for the RNA Medicine & Innovation Symposium IRCM. Details and registration info: ircm.qc.ca/en/events-deta…

How do cells efficiently respond to stress? Transcriptional stress responses are well-known—and in our latest study, we discover that cells use biomolecular condensation to redirect translation from old to new mRNAs 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Do you really need to spread plasmid libraries on mountains of plates to get uniform growth, or can you just dump them in a flask and call it a day? We make huge plasmid libraries in the de Boer Lab, so we tested whether culture method really matters. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
