Job alert! We're seeking TWO passionate postdocs to join our team in the dynamic realm of #geneexpression research. Get in touch! RT please.

The 5’ end cap structure is critical for the innate immune sensors, IFIT1, IFIT5 and RIG-I to discriminate between self and nonself RNAs bit.ly/3uwsfP4

How do tumours evade destruction by the immune system? We are recruiting two postdocs (wet lab/dry lab) to shed light on epigenetic checkpoints of anti-tumour immunity in lung cancers in this collaborative project funded by Cancer Research UK. qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies… qmul.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies…

Great morning session ediRNA community. Many thanks to all speakers for great talks: Kathryn Lilley Alena Shkumatava Andrew Baker Sara Clohisey Hendry Javier F Caceres Amy Buck

New funding and new positions available in immunology Programme including a group leader position. #RNA #immunology see details babraham.ac.uk/work-and-study…

🔴 Our new preprint up on bioRxiv Molecular Biology. Our results suggest that heterozygous DGCR8 phenotype is highly primate-specific (ps), affecting to ps-microRNA clusters and human endogenous retrovirus H (HERVH). Sara R Heras Sara Macias biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really excited to share our last work in collaboration with Sara Macias: "DGCR8 haploinsufficiency leads to primate-specific RNA dysregulation and pluripotency defects"! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

recruiting a PhD student to study the role of RNA binding proteins 🧬for viral defence 🦠during embryonic development🐁 👶. Funding routes for both UK and international students are available 🌻. Please send your CV and motivation letter if interested saramaciasribela.wixsite.com/maciaslab

New EdiRNA events for the new year! Funded by the The RNA Society. Great opportunity to network with other RNA biologists 🧬 (dsRNA included) from Edinburgh and beyond 🚀 Jan 29, 2025 Apr 9, 2025 Jun 11, 2025 Oct TBD, 2025 edirna.com/meetings

Next up is Sara Macias discussing how DGCR8 acts as a gatekeeper of the interferon response by preventing cytoplasmic TE-dsRNA accumulation #GStransposons

And with that the afternoon of The Genetics Society short talks is done! We've had: 1) KRABs binding L2/MIR elements, which would effect cardiovascular development; 2) DGCR8 prevents the accumulation of TE-made double-stranded RNA; 1/3 🧵
