In this student-requested video, I demo the process of making a high quality publication-ready figure (from making a mockup to enhancing visual similarity in Illustrator) and narrate my general process. Follow along 📽️: youtube.com/watch?v=L9qo2X… #phdlife #AcademicTwitter #dataviz

Excited to share the latest work from postdocs Ameya! अमेय! and Zack! We thought about how multinucleate cells are able to maintain N:C ratio, and found a condensate rheostat that regulates translation of cell cycle + growth mRNAs.

Our paper out in eLife - the journal. Full-length #nanopore RNA sequencing uncovers 5' #RNA shortening upon cellular #stress that depends on ✅ stress-granules and #XRN1 but ❌ not poly(A) or cap removal. elifesciences.org/articles/96284 🤔 useful to further reduce translational load during #ISR ?

#ncRNA molecules are stranger than you think. We propose that OLE RNA is bacteria's functional mimic of #mTOR. The Das lab at Stanford proposes OLE RNA penetrates cell membranes! They also find that RNAs we called ROOL and GOLLD form 8-membered nanocages. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Ever joined a new lab and felt that not knowing where/what stuff is was holding your research back? Yeah, same. Kudos to Kage & Taylor from our lab for a beautiful piece in Trends in Biochemical Sciences highlighting how lab inventory systems support independence. doi.org/10.1016/j.tibs…

Starting the new year with exciting research output from my group! I'm excited to share our latest research on a novel XACT lncRNA transcript discovered by my group, which provides new insights into its role in both normal and cancerous somatic cells. #ErasmusMC #lncRNA #XACT

Check out this study from James A. Oo et al. revealing how trans-acting lncRNAs target SWI/SNF complex to lineage-specific enhancers to maintain open chromatin: nature.com/articles/s4146… Congrats James A. Oo Tim Warwick Matthias S. Leisegang and the rest of the authors
