A very nice work from my colleague Sunish Radhakrishnan lab When nutrients run low, Caulobacter hits pause on DNA replication! The AAA+ ATPase IncA, boosted by (p)ppGpp, binds the β-clamp DnaN to stall replication and protect the genome. A stress-response strategy conserved across species!

An interesting finding from Noryang that MPK3/6-IAA3/7 module during auxin signalling is now out. Congratulations to Noryang, Mrinalini, Neetu, Kirti and Sumaira 🙂 BRIC-NIPGR stanzin noryang Mrinalini Manna Neetu Verma Sarvesh Jonwal Plant Science sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Monash news release on our work!

exciting new work from SKB Lab and others, cracking the code of RNA splicing this was a lot of fun, excited to be onboard this stellar team, well done Suresh & co! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share my first paper as a co–first author, published in Nature Communications! From my Master’s thesis at Monash University under the guidance of Prof. Sureshkumar Balasubramanian — uncovering how genetic variants shape mRNA splicing. 🔗 lnkd.in/eDXxa7ZF
