Very interesting @RNA conference coming soon! RIM2026

#DNA may hold far more protein-coding instructions than we once realized. 🧬 A collaboration including @bazzinilab.bsky.social, published in Nucleic Acids Research has created an expanded catalog of these hidden genetic elements, possibly opening new doors for biomedical #research.

Thank you to @lanevol.bsky.social for joining us for a fantastic #StowersSeminarSeries this week! 🦎

Hosted by the Piotrowski Lab.

Human DHX29 detects nonoptimal codon usage to regulate mRNA stability Synonymous codon usage controls global gene expression in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic species. Nonoptimal codons are known to induce mRNA decay; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains...

Whole-embryo spatial transcriptomics at subcellular resolution from gastrulation to organogenesis Gene expression patterns underlie development, but their systematic detection in whole embryos has remained elusive. We introduce a whole-embryo imaging platform using multiplexed error-robust fluores...

Very happy to see this out. 👏 @yinanwan.bsky.social
