Excited to share that this work is now published in its final form! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A mechanism for controlling mRNA localization to neuronal projections: Daniel Dominguez, Matthew Taliaferro @jmtali.bsky.social and collaborators implicated ALS-linked TDP-43 as inhibitor of mRNA accumulation in neurites, possibly by promoting their decay link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Join us in Porto for the forefront of RNA localization & local translation research! Registration is live!

My favourite meeting! Highly recommend registering for this one...

Announcing the 2026 edition of the EMBO workshop on RNA localization and local translation! This meeting will be held June 30 - July 4 near Porto, Portugal. Come for exciting updates in the field from both established investigators and trainees. See the link below for details!

How does one review his paper if he’s infallible?

New @prelights.bsky.social post ! I'm happy to highlight @jmtali.bsky.social lab latest preprint prelights.biologists.com/highlights/t...

We received notice that two F31s were terminated and submitted another F31 application two hours later. We keep on trucking, I guess.

Two updates with this project! First, this work is now published here: academic.oup.com/nar/article/... Second, our software for identifying 8-oxoguanosine via RNAseq, PIGPEN, is now installable via bioconda: anaconda.org/bioconda/pig...

Excited to share our latest work! We asked if and how TDP-43 regulates RNA transport in neurons and if this is misregulated in ALS. We found that it works to keep RNAs *out* of neurites, and that loss of TDP-43 activity results in specific RNAs aberrantly accumulating there.

Save the date for the next edition of this wonderful meeting. We look forward to seeing you in Portugal!!

From this we can conclude that I am: A. extremely arrogant about my own writing B. an idiot C. both

Come be our colleague! @cu-bmg.bsky.social is running an open rank search for a structural biologist specializing in cryo-EM/ET. This is a great opportunity in a highly collegial and collaborative department. Apply here: cu.taleo.net/careersectio...

Start PCR. Ski. Purify PCR product. @molbcu.bsky.social

@triggerloop.bsky.social ok seriously is a&m refusing to share the film or what is going on here

@triggerloop.bsky.social good for you. Got your win for the day. No need to worry about anything else.

Interested in doing your postdoc with the Department of Pharmacology at @CUAnschutz? Join us for our Postdoctoral Education & Knowledge Summit with @cuanschutz_dpb and the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Genetics! Applications close December 1st. bit.ly/CU-PEAKS

Fellow #RNA lovers, please repost 🙏: 2 ERC-funded Post-doc positions are available in our lab to investigate #RNA structural ensemble and their dynamics in living cells. Application link: t.co/pYJ3H3j705

Excited to share our latest work! In it, we develop a new method for studying RNA localization via proximity labeling: OINC-seq! In contrast to other proximity-based methods, labels deposited on RNAs are read directly by sequencing without the need for biotinylation. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

New preprint from my group! We used SHAPE-MaP to measure RNA structure of DDX3X-sensitive mRNAs, developed a colorimetric translation reporter for DDX3X activity, and identified amino acids in DDX3X that mediate interaction with the translation machinery: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
