What do researchers studying RNA structure, RNAi, ncRNA, genome stability, epigenetics & inheritance have in common? 🤯
🧬 If you guessed “They all study RNA,” you're right. But also… they all exist in harmony in the Miska Lab!

Ever heard of an organism that rebuilds its genome from scratch? Meet Oxytricha, the wonder that shreds & reassembles DNA pieces guided by RNA! Join us on 15th Sept at 13h for L.Landweber’s @columbiauniversity.bsky.social talk at @cambiochem.bsky.social to explore this case of natural genome editing

Interesting talk from @miskalab.bsky.social . Why do some animals (and plants) receive RNA from the environment? Why don't humans have the ability? Would make #RNA delivery a lot easier if we can just eat it and it gets into our cells.
