On May 2, 2023, Dr. Matvei Khoroshkin from Dr. Hani Goodarzi’s group at UCSF presented their recent preprint: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.03.11.532161v1 The manuscript describes a new approach the authors called “SwitchSeeker”, which allows for the identification of RNA structural switches in eukaryotes. SwitchSeeker generates secondary structures from sequence and draws on their…

On Nov. 22, 2022, Christina Akirtava from Prof. Joel McManus’s lab at Carnegie Mellon University presented her and Gemma May’s latest work where they investigated how errors in genome annotations can lead to false positives. They’re intriguing story was also recently published in a Proceedings of the National Academy of…
On May 4, 2022, Dr. Rasim Barutcu from the university of Toronto presented how he, co-first author Mingkun Wu and their colleagues applied APEX labeling to survey the distribution of RNA transcripts in the cell nucleus. The work led in Dr. Benjamin Blencowe’s lab at the University of Toronto…
Last week we had a terrific presentation by Dr. Kristopher Brannan, describing his recent first author paper on new technologies developed at Gene Yeo’s lab at UCSD for detecting RBP binding to RNA targets at single-cell resolution. The method Kris and his colleagues developed is called STAMP (“Surveying Targets by…
