I never expected horses 🐎 in my RNA research, but here we are 😁 In our new perspective, Simon Dove and I discuss how RIL-seq maps transcriptome-wide sRNA networks in vivo and how iRIL-seq expands the RNA–RNA interaction toolbox. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128… @MeetingRna @RNA_ISR

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 It started from my frustration with the depressing effect that the current publishing system has on the well-being of myself, my team, and pretty much every scientist I know (maybe you’ve noticed from my stupid jokes… :) I was exhausted of dealing with the huge delays, reviewers that can be abusive, and how arbitrary it all is. Unfortunately, the most important factors are often WHO your reviewers are and who YOU are... It’s clear we need alternatives or at least ways to improve the situation. So, together with a really special and talented team we worked to develop this idea into “qed” a platform where you can get CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on your own work or CRITICALLY assess other people’s papers. It can be a real difference maker if many of you join us (thousands have tried it already, but today we release a NEW and much stronger version ;) Let’s harness qed to put the power back in the scientists’ hands, to do, to read & to publish science on our own terms. I’m dying for you to TRY IT, and it’s very simple - just drop a paper (the link to the website is in the replies👇) - it’s completely secure, private, and free, and you get results fast. Please show your support, SHARE, tell your friends, and let’s be the revolution 🫵!

Check out the latest work led by @MatthewHarryHa1 in the Bartel lab! Matt solved a long-standing mystery about miRNA targeting, and drove the story to impressive mechanistic detail (1/2)

"Ilana do you know what it is to open a fridge? People should really think when they open a fridge at home. The very concept of a free man who can take a fruit out of it. Or a vegetable. Or a fruit. Or a water." Eli Sharabi was held hostage for 491 horrific days by Hamas terrorists. He was starved. Beaten. Tortured—physically and mentally This is his story. 📷@Uvda_tweet

This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans. Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals, making it a useful model for investigating how tissues develop and mature in multicellular organisms. Read how the 2024 medicine laureates’ investigations into C. elegans revealed an entirely new dimension to gene regulation: bit.ly/4dlPE6f #NobelPrize

שורף את הלב: לפני שנרצחה ב-7.10, הפרמדיקית עמית מן נבחנה לתוכנית ריאליטי ״רואים את הקול״ כי חלמה להיות זמרת, זה האודישן שלה. חמש דקות וחצי ששורפות את הלב, כמה מתיקות וטוהר היו בה. לזכרה של עמית מן ז״ל

Predicting ribosome density on messenger RNA in mammalian cells A deep convolutional neural network predicts ribosome density based on RNA sequences. The 5′ UTR, CDS, and 3′ UTR contribute ~67%, 31%, and 2% per-nucleotide predictive power of the model.
