When I was at NIH and shutdowns loomed, it was discovered that the administration was planning to shut down PubMed. The head of NCBI called the powers that be and pointed out that this would threaten patient safety Who knows what will happen now Just in case, remember Euruope-PMC (europepmc.org )

Proud to share a new paper in Developmental Cell! This project spans over a decade of work and it's been amazing to see it all come together. Huge cheers to Randy, @hatleylab.bsky.social and the rest of the team! www.cell.com/developmenta...

This preprint was accepted @rnajournal.bsky.social! It is now online ahead of print! @cancer-inst-purdue.bsky.social @purduernaclub.bsky.social rnajournal.cshlp.org/content/earl...

Great turnout for our first meeting of fall 2025! We got to learn about miRNAs, Drosha, phase separation, and IDRs from Bing Yang, a new assistant professor in Purdue Biology.

Today!

Next week's Biochemistry Seminar will be presented by @acorbe2.bsky.social!

Amazon Rankings: #1 New Release in Biotechnology (#3 overall) #2 New Release in Medical Research (#25 overall) #3 New Release in Genetics (#10 overall) I have been assured by the publisher that it will be available in the first week of October. Thank you all for pre-ordering! everydayrna.com

Co-discoverer of reverse transcriptase at 32, Nobel Prize at 37, played a key role at the 1975 Asilomar comference.

On Friday September 12, Bing Yang, a new assistant professor in Biological Sciences will give a talk entitled “An intrinsically disordered region of drosha selectively promotes miRNA biogenesis, independent of tissue-specific Microprocessor condensates.” Location: ABE B061.

We have restarted our global Nucleic Acid Strcuture webinar series to bring the expiremental and computational communities together to discuss new developments in the field. Join us this Thursday for the next webinar. Sign up to our mailing list here: groups.google.com/g/casp-rna-sig

PACT suppresses PKR activation, thus preventing activation of the integrated stress response, NF-κB, and cell death. Dimerization and double-stranded #RNA binding by PACT is required for this function. @kylecottrell.bsky.social @cancer-inst-purdue.bsky.social bit.ly/4oC3Vm7

Our second preprint is out today! Post thread to come later.

This manuscript was accepted @rnajournal.bsky.social and is online ahead of publication now! Congratulations to first author Addison Young and all the co-authors (for several this is their first publication). @cancer-inst-purdue.bsky.social 1/2 rnajournal.cshlp.org/content/earl...

PICR Deputy Director Andrea Kasinski has earned an $800K Translational Grant from the The V Foundation for Cancer Research to advance her innovative miRNA-based treatments closer to the clinic. #Cancer #CancerResearch #Oncology #VictoryOverCancer

Welcome to the bsky account for the Purdue RNA Club! Our meeting dates for Fall 2025 are September 12, October 10, November 14, and December 5.

Excellent kickoff poster session for the brand new RNA Club at Purdue.

Representing Purdue's growing strength in #RNA science, researchers, including Purdue Institute for Cancer Research investigator Kyle Cottrell, Barbara Golden and lab members, are in San Diego at #rna2025!

New paper online! Congrats to first author Ant Murphy, PhD and the rest of the team on this great work. Special thanks to #DOD Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) funding support. #EHE #RareCancer #HammerDownCancer febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The Cottrell Lab (minus the undergrads) is on our way to RNA25!
