What an amazing paper from the Bonasio lab! Domesticated retroviral proteins and RNA-modifying enzymes that regulate RNA loading into and transportation via extracellular vesicles (1/2). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Pseudouridine selects RNAs for extracellular transport
RNAs move through the extracellular space to transmit information between cells, including mammalian neurons, yet how specific RNAs are channeled into these extracellular routes is unknown. Using geno...

The Garnett Lab is excited to launch DepMap Miner, a new tool to explore cancer dependency data!
Built on the Sanger DepMap, the DepMap Miner brings together multi-omic and functional datasets for over 1300 cancer cell models.

Start mining data now: dataminer.depmap.sanger.ac.uk

Thinking about who's hanging out with you RNA in cells? Here's a super overview of the (many!) things you can do to find out. Many thanks @mardakheh.bsky.social @shechnerlab.bsky.social #RNA #RNAinteractome
Hello! Ever wonder what's "talking to" your favorite transcript, but were too scared to ask? In our review in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social, @mardakheh.bsky.social and I highlight new RNA-focused tools for discovering RNA interactions across organizational scales. Checkit!

For over 40 years, we have driven research in efforts to find a cure for PKD. Now, a 57% cut to CDMRP funding threatens that progress. Urge Congress to protect this critical funding, PKD research depends on it!

'For example, whereas more than 13,000 research articles have been published on TP53, half of human genes are barely mentioned in the literature (Fig. 1). It is estimated that 75% of all research on protein-coding genes has been focused on fewer than 10% of proteins'
