The first time you start a research lab, there’s no manual. So I made one. A practical toolkit for postdocs and early-career faculty launching their first lab: hiring, startup planning, collaborations, and building a sustainable research program. zenodo.org/records/188835…

New preprint released 🪇 Which tRNAs are used by ribosomes during translation? We introduce tRIBO-seq, a nanopore method to sequence ribosome-associated tRNAs and track how the active tRNA pool changes across stress conditions. biorxiv.org/content/10.648… A thread 🧵

This is why we fund science. And experimental gene therapy.

Poetry in science? Check out this cool story detailing our recent collaboration with renowned poet @christianbok and lab alumni @TCordovaBio where we engineered the extremophile, Deinococcus radiodurans, to encode a poem! Link 👉 cockrell.utexas.edu/news/conan-the…

We’re excited to share our latest manuscript exploring a fascinating aspect of tRNA biology—how RNA processing interfaces with nucleoside modifications. Just out on @NatureComms 🔬 A wonderful collaboration with @GlattSebastian nature.com/articles/s4146…

My first paper out in collab btwn @silvirouskin @Cheers2LO! We developed a web platform for visualizing high-throughput RNA structure data obtained from DMS/SHAPE and used it to analyze the impact of pseudouridylation on RNA structure/riboswitch function. academic.oup.com/nar/article/53…

Special Issue, edited by Dr. Runhua Han, will showcase recent research on the roles of regulatory small RNAs (#sRNAs) in bacterial pathogens. Deadline for manuscript submissions: 20 August 2025 Submit your paper at: mdpi.com/journal/genes/…

@TorontoRNA That's fine. Thank you.

@runhuahan Sorry, no, the seminar is in person only🙏

Join us for our next seminar this Wednesday, March 12th from 4:00 to 5:00 pm, in CCBR Black Room. Pizza will be provided after the session! Our speakers this month are: Dr. Amanda Hargrove (Professor, U of T) and TinTin Luu (PhD Candidate, Hargrove Lab) See you there!

Susan Gottesman and @storzlab, pioneers in regulatory RNA research, reflect on their personal scientific journeys and the evolution of their groundbreaking group research in two compelling articles. Gigi: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Susan: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @MeetingRna
