Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay safeguards telomeres in pluripotent stem cells - Nature Cell Biology Markiewicz-Potoczny et al. report that the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway protects telomeres in the absence of core Shelterin component TRF2 by regulating the stability and abundance of TRF1 at ...

Excited to be part of this collaborative work on telomere biology in pluripotent cells. We found that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) becomes essential for cell survival in the absence of TRF2, by preventing production of a dominant-negative TRF1 isoform.

Artificial Intelligence in the Review Process

The #DFG will in future permit the use of #AI in peer review under clearly defined conditions. The basis for this is a newly published guideline and the white paper “Artificial Intelligence in the Review Process”. The new regulations will apply as of 16 April. 1/4 www.dfg.de/en/news/news...

We are excited to share our new preprint: iCLIP3 — an improved protocol for transcriptome-wide mapping of protein–RNA interactions at single-nucleotide resolution.
