How does one review his paper if he’s infallible?

We received notice that two F31s were terminated and submitted another F31 application two hours later. We keep on trucking, I guess.

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.

Save the date for the next edition of this wonderful meeting. We look forward to seeing you in Portugal!!

@triggerloop.bsky.social good for you. Got your win for the day. No need to worry about anything else.

Excited to share our latest work! In it, we develop a new method for studying RNA localization via proximity labeling: OINC-seq! In contrast to other proximity-based methods, labels deposited on RNAs are read directly by sequencing without the need for biotinylation. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

New preprint from my group! We used SHAPE-MaP to measure RNA structure of DDX3X-sensitive mRNAs, developed a colorimetric translation reporter for DDX3X activity, and identified amino acids in DDX3X that mediate interaction with the translation machinery:
