What do researchers studying RNA structure, RNAi, ncRNA, genome stability, epigenetics & inheritance have in common? 🤯
🧬 If you guessed “They all study RNA,” you're right. But also… they all exist in harmony in the Miska Lab!

Last week we said goodbye to our dear Tsveta. It’s been a joy having you with us, and we wish you all the very best for this exciting next chapter. You’ll always have friends here to discuss science with!
Her lncRNA manuscript is in preparation. Stay tuned!

Interesting talk from @miskalab.bsky.social . Why do some animals (and plants) receive RNA from the environment? Why don't humans have the ability? Would make #RNA delivery a lot easier if we can just eat it and it gets into our cells.
