Someone needs to tell Ecuador that it's not crossbar challenge.

Check out our article on the tug-of-war orchestrated by sRNAs during the different stages of C. higginsianum infection in A. thaliana. I am very grateful to Dr. @pbaldrich.bsky.social for allowing me to be part of this project! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Stage‐Specific RNA Turnover Drives Small RNA Dynamics in Arabidopsis–Colletotrichum Interactions

Small RNAs (sRNAs) are key regulators of plant defense and have been implicated in cross-kingdom interactions with pathogens. The hemibiotrophic fungus Colletotrichum higginsianum infects Arabidopsis....

A PhD is weird because: You can work all day and still feel like you’ve done nothing.

Behold: the blotting compass IME Eastern blotting gets lumped in with Western blotting though (I don't think I have ever seen a paper that did Eastern blotting refer to it as such by name)

Scientists are a bunch of nerds: Ed Southern invented a method for probing for DNA separated by gel electrophoresis: a 'Southern blot'. So when a method was developed for probing *RNA*, they called it a "northern blot". Similar jokers named a protein blot a "western blot".

Researchers are launching a Human RNome Project to map every bit of RNA and its chemical modifications, and this work could transform how we treat cancer, neurological disorders and more buff.ly/KCr3yRR 🧪🩺

RNA is key to the dark matter of the genome − scientists are sequencing it to illuminate human health and disease

Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical modifications that make cells unique.

PhD students are turning to side hustles to make ends meet, finds Nature poll

Almost half of the scientists who responded said they have or had second jobs during their degrees.

Thank you @pbaldrich.bsky.social for the opportunity to present my primary PhD results at the Plant and Animal Genome Conference #PAG33

Fully funded PhD opportunity in my lab to study threatened plant species responses to drought and heat. This is part of mu recently funded DECRA fellowship.

Hi Dr. @lucksmith.bsky.social! I’m Carolina (UNC PhD student). I study RNA mods. Following up on my email about the Mettl3/Mettl14 KO Drosophila lines from Kan et al. 2021. I’d love to use them as m6A negative controls for DRS. Would love to connect or know if sharing is possible! Thank you so much!
