A giant thank you to @drjz.bsky.social and @vidigaljoana.bsky.social! It takes a village to celebrate #RNAday
NIH had fun celebrating another #RNAday. Thanks to @vidigaljoana.bsky.social for organizing this great event and @slwolin.bsky.social for building a strong RNA community.

Our new paper is out on BioRxiv today! 🦠
Using polysome profiling and RNA-seq, we report that polysome-associated host mRNAs are reorganized during RSV infection enhancing translation of virus-resembling transcripts.
