Splice modulators, meet your match. 🔦 Using photoaffinity labeling + Chem-CLIP, researchers mapped small molecule–RNA binding across the transcriptome and found... telomerase?! Wild. Read the study: doi.org/10.1039/D4CB...

Photoaffinity enabled transcriptome-wide identification of splice modulating small molecule–RNA binding events in native cells
Splice modulating small molecules have been developed to promote the U1 snRNP to engage with pre-mRNAs with strong and altered sequence preference. Transcriptomic profiling of bulk RNA from compound treated cells enables detection of RNAs impacted; however, it is difficult to delineate whether transcriptional chang

Darwin's grandfather was known for writing somewhat scandalous, Linnaeus-inspired poetry about the reproductive habits of plants. This #WorldPoetryDay we present you with this excerpt about the mythical #VegetableLamb without further comment.
One verse of a poem from the Botanic Garden, Part 2, Containing the Loves of the Plants. A Poem. By Erasmus Darwin, 1789. There is a small drawing of a vegetable lamb beside the text. 
 "E'en round the pole the flames of Love aspire,
 And icy bosoms feel the secret fire!—
 Cradled in snow and fann'd by arctic air
 Shines, gentle BAROMETZ! thy golden hair;
 Rooted in earth each cloven hoof descends,
 And round and round her flexile neck she bends;
 Crops the grey coral moss, and hoary thyme,
 Or laps with rosy tongue the melting rime;
 Eyes with mute tenderness her distant dam,
Or seems to bleat, a Vegetable Lamb."
