RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) often bind numerous transcripts - but do they act through a network effect? Our new paper in @plosbiology.org shows that the highly conserved LIN28 RBP controls developmental timing in C. elegans larvae through only two targets. doi.org/10.1371/jour... 1/n

Our latest: alternative splicing that changes the translational reading frame! Not only can it cause RNA decay, it can also generate alternatively-coded proteins or alternative protein lengths. There’s tons of it, in 🪱 and 🧍‍♀️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Pervasive non-triplet alternative splicing drives functional isoform diversity - Nature Communications
Most alternative splicing preserves the reading frame, leaving the role of non‑triplet events unclear. Here, the authors identify hundreds of non‑triplet splicing events in C. elegans and humans, show...

RFK Jr. is an outright danger to this country, and he should resign or be fired. Do we still have the sort of government that does such things? Or have we turned into. . . that other kind. You know the one.

RFK Jr. Must Go. And He's Not the Only One.

Local traditional media still works! We shot this interview on the grounds of the former J&L steel mill, where buildings including my lab are today. The threat to biomedical research in Pittsburgh is on par with the threat to the mills 50 years ago. www.wtae.com/article/pitt...

Pittsburgh researcher warns NIH cuts could harm patient care, economic growth
Pittsburgh's economy once relied heavily on the steel industry, which lined Second Avenue with miles of mills. When that industry collapsed, medicine and education filled the economic void.
