In this Essay, the evolution of life is construed as a ribosomal takeover, whereby the ribosome evolved to consume most of the cell’s resources, while other cellular componentry ensured the propagatio...

Genetic association tests prioritize candidate genes based on different criteria.

Here the authors provide an explanation for 95% of examined predicted loss of function variants found in disease-associated haploinsufficient genes in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD),…

Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease marked by progressive motor neuron loss. Emerging evidence suggests a critical, previously underappreciated role for skeletal muscle in ALS onset and progression, highlighting pathological and molecular interplay between brain and muscle. However, systematic, high-resolution molecular analyses across these tissues remain scarce. This project will use advanced […]

Transcription of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) from rDNA repeats is the first step of ribosome biogenesis, accounting for a major portion of all cellular transcription. Often regarded as a housekeeping proce...

Join our team and contribute to the development of complete, personalized “telomere-to-telomere” (T2T) genome assemblies and the analysis of previously inaccessible regions of the genome! We are curre...

Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are prevalent in RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), yet their roles in RNA interactions remain poorly defined. Here, we examined the structured and disordered RNA-bin...

The ribosome is one of the core macromolecules in the cell. The ribosomal RNAs (rRNA), which are essential components of the ribosome, are coded by the multi-copy ribosomal DNA (rDNA). Despite its hig...
