New preprint from the lab! With @brumbaugh-lab.bsky.social , we show that P-bodies sequester developmentally relevant RNAs to influence cell fate. miRNAs direct this conserved regulatory process, and manipulating it enhances totipotency and germ cell programming. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Selective RNA sequestration in biomolecular condensates directs cell fate transitions
Recent studies have emphasized the significance of biomolecular condensates in modulating gene expression through RNA processing and translational control. However, the functional roles of RNA condens...

Happy to say our paper with the Whipple lab on snoRNA target profiling with chimeric eCLIP is now out! Great work by co-first authors Joey & Min with the help of a bunch of other folks!

Mapping snoRNA-target RNA interactions in an RNA-binding protein-dependent manner with chimeric eCLIP - Genome Biology
Background Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that function in ribosome and spliceosome biogenesis, primarily by guiding modifying enzymes to specific sites on ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and...

1/ Pleased to share our review, published today
@natrevimmunol.bsky.social, highlighting how biomolecular condensates enhance the precision and flexibility of gene regulatory networks that guide fate decisions during normal and pathological immune cell development. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Biomolecular condensates in immune cell fate - Nature Reviews Immunology
Recent studies suggest that biomolecular condensates — membrane-less assemblies of proteins and nucleic acids — are involved in regulating gene expression to ensure proper immune cell development. Thi...

Excited to share my first manuscript in the @distefanolab.bsky.social , now out in @emboreports.bsky.social! 🎉 We demonstrate how two transposable elements, MER51B and LTR5_Hs, serve as selective indicators of human pluripotency states embopress.org/doi/full/10..... 🧵 below:

Happy to have the Srinivas lab on Bluesky!

Even our embryos are starting to feel a little festive in the Srinivas lab! We are excited to share our new bioRχiv pre-print – investigating the role of calcium in the early embryo
