Honored to be featured in the @rnasociety.bsky.social Member Spotlight series and share my experiences & views that led me to where I am today! Mentorship and sponsorship were pivotal in my career path. I am now at @bcmhouston.bsky.social and my lab is leveraging ML+AI for RNA regulation+structure.

A nuclear RNA degradation code is recognized by PAXT for eukaryotic transcriptome surveillance
Soles et al. demonstrate that the combination of a 5′ splice site and a poly(A) junction constitutes a nuclear RNA degradation code that targets RNAs for degradation by the PAXT adaptor and the RNA exosome. This study provides fundamental insight into how the RNA exosome specifically recognizes misprocessed RNAs.
