Two updates with this project! First, this work is now published here: academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Second, our software for identifying 8-oxoguanosine via RNAseq, PIGPEN, is now installable via bioconda: anaconda.org/bioconda/pig...

Excited to share our latest work! We asked if and how TDP-43 regulates RNA transport in neurons and if this is misregulated in ALS. We found that it works to keep RNAs *out* of neurites, and that loss of TDP-43 activity results in specific RNAs aberrantly accumulating there.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
