RNA-seq tells us how much RNA is present in the cell. But to understand gene regulation, we need to easily measure the synthesis and decay rates driving this abundance. We introduce AIR-seq: analog intrinsic recoding sequencing. (1/6) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Analog intrinsic recoding measures RNA dynamics without chemical conversion
Steady-state RNA abundance measurements mask the synthesis and decay rates that shape gene expression. Analog intrinsic recoding sequencing (AIR-seq) repurposes the base-pairing properties of N4-hydro...

Our new pre-print from the Greenberg and Churchman labs shows that activity-dependent modulation of RNA stability is a major, and underappreciated, mechanism of gene regulation in neurons. Tutorial below! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/11)

HuD controls widespread RNA stability to drive neuronal activity-dependent responses
Neuronal activity shapes brain development and refines synaptic connectivity in part through dynamic changes in gene expression. While activity-regulated transcriptional programs have been extensively...

Novel environment exposure drives temporally defined and region-specific chromatin accessibility and gene expression changes in the hippocampus - Nature Communications
Hippocampal neurons adapt to experience through changes in gene expression and chromatin accessibility. Here, authors show that novel environment exposure induces region- and cell-type specific transc...

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
