We are excited to announce a tenure-track or tenured faculty position in Computational Biophysics and Biochemistry, exploring the intricate molecular and cellular processes and the complex interactions of their macromolecular components! apply.interfolio.com/177120

There is still time to submit an abstract - join us in Nashville!

FASEB@faseborg.bsky.social · last yr.

Attention gene researchers! Early registration has been extended to Apr 28! Register now and save $150 for #MGeneSRC in Nashville. Organizer @lisaracki.bsky.social alongside Blake Wiedenheft of MT State and Meindert Lamers of Leiden Univ. can't wait to see you. Save your space: hubs.ly/Q037NsyH0

Here is our paper showing in vivo folding of nascent RNA right after synthesis, published now in @cp-molcell.bsky.social! With @karlaneugebauer.bsky.social, @isaac-vock.bsky.social, @mattdsimon.bsky.social www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Rapid folding of nascent RNA regulates eukaryotic RNA biogenesis

Schärfen et al. develop a method to measure the structure of nascent RNAs during their synthesis by RNA polymerases. Base pairing occurs rapidly in cells, revealing the strong regulatory potential of ...

Are you a scientist or student heading to a @standupforscience.bsky.social ‬rally this Friday? We want to hear from you. Tell us about yourself and why you’re going, how far you’re traveling, why you’re fired up, and whether there will be car snacks. Call or text us at (646) 767-6532.

We are happy to share the development of Co-transcriptional Structure Tracking by @leoschaerfen.bsky.social, which measures RNA structure formation during its synthesis in vivo. We are excited to discover the activity of helicases on nascent rRNA! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Rapid folding of nascent RNA regulates eukaryotic RNA biogenesis

An RNA′s catalytic, regulatory, or coding potential depends on RNA structure formation. Because base pairing occurs during transcription, early structural states can govern RNA processing events and d...
