Online Now: Why m⁶A? An RNA surveillance model Online now:

SWARM is an AI framework for nanopore direct RNA sequencing that detects m6A, pseudouridine (Ψ), and m5C mods at single-nucleotide & single-molecule resolution. Key innovation: Crosstalk-aware training with non-target mods & validated cellular signals to reduce false positives. 2/6

🚀 Just published: New1 shields mRNAs from no-go decay — by preventing ribosome crashes at specific codons. What’s new? New1 (eEF3 homolog) stops ribosomes from stalling at C-terminal AAA/AGG/CGU codons. No New1 = collisions + Hel2 recruitment + Cue2-mediated no-go decay.

Registrations are now OPEN! Join us in Newcastle for the “RNA in Physiology and Disease” conference, an international meeting bringing together world-leading RNA biologists and emerging researchers. Early bird deadline: 1 May Abstract deadline: 30 June Register now: genetics.org.uk/events/rna-i...
