Cells use nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) to destroy faulty RNA before it can cause harm. Researchers at the #mdcBerlin and the University of Cologne uncovered hidden RNA variants and built a free database for the field. Check out the full story: 👉 www.mdc-berlin.de/news/press/h... 👈

Researchers at the #mdcBerlin developed a new method called TESLA-seq that links gene regulatory elements to their targets – faster and more precisely. The team mapped 200+ CaREs in the PHOX2B region, revealing new connections to disease-relevant genes. More: 👉 www.mdc-berlin.de/news/press/u...#mdcBerlin👈
