Really happy that our work on ribosome frame shifting and RNA decay has been published now in Molecular cell. Great work leaded by Yujie Zhang where we uncovered a totally unexpected mechanism that has been overlooked for many years (from bacteria to human). Here the link doi.org/10.1016/j.mo...
A study by @pelechanolab.bsky.social reveals how cells adapt to nutrient scarcity by altering their genetic instructions. The discovery, published in @cp-molcell.bsky.social, sheds light on cellular stress responses and has potential therapeutic implications 🧪 #CellBiology news.ki.se/new-study-un...

GenomicsSky! Asking for suggestions for genomics/data analysis workshops that grad students can take this summer (or whenever) 🙏 Pleast RT.

In a time where opportunities have been slashed everywhere, any prof dev opportunities for students would be incredibly welcome!

RNA translation in #cancer!
Check out this fun story about amplification of 12q13-15 leading to a quirky new role for METTL1.

Led by Alejandro Gutierrez, Richard Gregory and teams, and it was a pleasure to contribute ourselves!

A methyltransferase-independent role for METTL1 in tRNA aminoacylation and oncogenic transformation
Ali et al. report that multiple 12q-amplified genes collaborate with AKT in sarcomagenesis, including METTL1. This oncogenic function of METTL1 is independent of its methyltransferase activity. METTL1...

Nature research paper: Targeting FOXM1 condensates reduces breast tumour growth and metastasis

https://go.nature.com/4g7BNC8
Targeting FOXM1 condensates reduces breast tumour growth and metastasis - Nature
The transcription factor FOXM1 forms functional condensates, the formation of which can be targeted with a specific peptide to suppress breast cancer growth and metastasis.
