Delighted to see @biopatrika.bsky.social spotlight Dr. Drisya Vijayakumari and her recently published work from our lab on how introns help silence retrotransposons and modulate gene expression. Congratulations, Drisya, on this well-deserved recognition! 👏🧬 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Spliceosomal proteins direct RNA methylation to modulate gene expression and silence retrotransposons - Nature Communications
RNA modifications help determine how RNAs are processed and regulated. Here, the authors identify a pathway in fission yeast in which Tgs1-mediated RNA capping recruits RNAi machinery to target crypti...

Introns have a hidden regulatory role! 🧬🎉 Delighted to share our latest paper showing that inefficiently spliced introns and spliceosomal proteins direct RNA methylation, engaging RNAi to silence retrotransposons and regulate gene expression nature.com/articles/s41...
