Ares Lab
@areslab.bsky.social
An RNA lab in Santa Cruz, working on splicing and the spliceosome, asking how splicing capacity is allocated to the primary transcriptome, and how intron gain affects genome evolution.
Dive into the latest #yeast resource paper in the May issue of #GENETICS that offers a detailed characterization of poly(A) profiles in strains with mutations in proteins involved in chromatin, elongation, mRNA splicing and stability, and RNA binding. 🔗 buff.ly/J4e7EfQ

Day 4 of #RNA26 in the books! Another day packed with fascinating science, inspiring discussions, and new ideas. My brain is definitely running at full capacity, but in the best possible way. Looking forward to one more day of RNA tomorrow! @jrrnascientists.bsky.social @rnasociety.bsky.social
Excited to be @rnasociety.bsky.social meeting 2026 in Montreal! Amazing science and colleagues- follow the RNA Society and the RNA Journal @rnajournal.bsky.social
Proud of the work done by @rnasociety.bsky.social to develop a code of conduct for the annual meeting- this society strives to support the next generation of scientists and make RNA accessible to all!
Seminar Alert: *Prof. Elena Conti* 'RNA exosome complex: Molecular Mechanisms of RNA degradation in health and disease' When: 18.06.2026, 14:00 Where: Haus 22-1 (lecture hall H22-1), Neiderad Campus (Uni KliniK), Goethe University RT🙏 @scale-cluster-ffm.bsky.social @goetheuni.bsky.social
Our work presented at the @rnasociety.bsky.social meeting in Montreal! @ollyfutur.bsky.social and @sdimarco.bsky.social are presenting posters showing how we use enhanced molecular simulations to sample #Mg ion binding and #RNA conformational changes
Sometimes you make a difference in a way you never expect. An acquaintance who works on a federal contract met with a political appointee. The PA asked them to do something unlawful, saying we’ll remember those who work with us. My acquaintance said: “I thought of you. And I said absolutely not.”
In recognition of our #RNASociety 2026 meeting we have translated several of the winning infographics into French, check it out! www.rnasociety.org/2026-infogra...

RNA Society@rnasociety.bsky.social · 2mo agoWe are excited to announce the winners and honorable mentions of the RNA Society Infographic Contest! Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed such creative and scientifically engaging submissions. We were impressed by the quality, originality, and educational impact of the entries.
This is vandalism. Sean and I were "HFSPO Fellowship Reciprocals": his funding took him from his Phd in Boulder, CO to a postdoc in Cambridge, UK; mine did the inverse. He is by far the smarter of the two of us and his lab's impact on RNA biology is immense. What an unnecessary waste!
Roland Hatzenpichler@environmicrobio.bsky.social · 2mo ago“Eddy received a letter from the [NIH], informing him that his work "had been determined to be of absolutely no value to the US taxpayer, and therefore it was being specifically terminated," he recalls. Eddy says he has given up on any dream that his funding would be restored”

Using "in extracto cryo-EM", we visualize ribosomes in mammalian lysates, including RRL. "Hibernating" ribosomes carry an extended set of proteins that protect functional centers. These include elongation factor eEF2, LARP1 implicated in mTOR signaling, eIF5A etc. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Time for a 🧵 on our new paper from the Walkley lab in @scienceimmuno.bsky.social. If you're into RNA editing by ADARs, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) sensing, post-transcriptional gene regulation and CRISPR screening, then read on! 1/X www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #RNASky #ImmunoSky
GGNBP2 regulates MDA5 sensing triggered by self double-stranded RNA following loss of ADAR1 editing
GGNBP2, CNOT10, and CNOT11 are required for innate immune response after the loss of ADAR1-mediated editing of self dsRNA.

Active learning can take many forms, but all require students to actively participate rather than passively absorb content. Typically, this involves structured activities such as group work, guided worksheets, think-pair-share, gallery walks, and jigsaw activities. open.substack.com/pub/allthing...
