(1/7) Very excited to share my first PhD preprint on the interactions of two of my favorite mobile genetic elements: phages and group II introns!

Prevalence of Group II Introns in Phage Genomes
Although bacteriophage genomes are under strong selective pressure for high coding density, they are still frequently invaded by mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Group II introns are MGEs that reduce h...

Tick-borne flavivirus exoribonuclease-resistant RNAs contain a double loop structure - Nature Communications
Many flaviviruses generate specialized non-coding RNAs that resist degradation by host exonucleases, promoting viral infection. Here, the authors characterize an RNA element in Powassan virus, highlig...

One of the most ancient sequences in biology, the peptidyl transferase center of the ribosome, is not as conserved as we might have thought. #RNA #Ribosomes

Structure of an Archaeal Ribosome with a Divergent Active Site
The ribosome is the universal translator of the genetic code and is shared across all life. Despite divergence in ribosome structure over the course of evolution, the peptidyl transferase center (PTC)...
