Thrilled to share the first preprint from @elainesanij.bsky.social lab as my first post on @bsky.app! 🧬🎉 Honored to co-lead this work with Jiachen Xuan and so proud of our amazing team’s efforts to drive and inspire future research! 🙌
1)🚨 Excited to share the first preprint from my lab
at SVI as it celebrates 4 years! 🎉 This work defines local surveillance mechanisms within the nucleoli that activate the DNA damage response (DDR) when DNA damage occurs at rRNA genes (rDNA). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Local nucleolar surveillance mechanisms maintain rDNA stability
The nucleoli are subdomains of the nucleus that form around actively transcribed ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. The highly repetitive and transcribed nature of the rRNA genes (rDNA) by RNA polymerase I (...
