Very harmonious and inspiring collaboration with Niels Gehring, @volkerboehm.bsky.social and team at Uni Köln, and colleagues at @mdc-berlin.bsky.social . Rapid UPF1 depletion illuminates the temporal dynamics of the NMD-regulated human transcriptome: Molecular Cell www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

Rapid UPF1 depletion illuminates the temporal dynamics of the NMD-regulated human transcriptome

UPF1 depletion inhibits nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) and stabilizes direct target transcripts within hours. Boehm et al. use conditional protein degradation and advanced transcriptomics to map t...

Our paper on a centromere-enriched retroelement is out! link.springer.com/article/10.1... Congratulations to all the authors! Comments and reposts welcome and appreciated 🧬🔬

Transcription of a centromere-enriched retroelement and local retention of its RNA are significant features of the CENP-A chromatin landscape - Genome Biology

Background Centromeres depend on chromatin containing the conserved histone H3 variant CENP-A for function and inheritance, while the role of centromeric DNA repeats remains unclear. Retroelements are...
