In the midst of everything it feels particularly appropriate to highlight all the amazing #RNA research taking place at #NIH! Follow this thread to join us for our biannual #RNASymposium, this year featuring intramural research superstars!

Happy pi (RNA) day!

a must read for retrovirus, ERV, piRNA and transposon aficionados. see also recent work from the group of @astridhaase.bsky.social on the importance of transposon insertions downstream of host genes for for piRNA-based immunity.
