Had a wonderful time chatting with Roland Pease BBC about our study uncovering thousands viral proteins — thank you for the opportunity to share our work with the broader public!! šŸ™ bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Pardis Sabeti Science Magazine Broad Institute Harvard Medical School

With the help of a technique called Massively Parallel Ribosome Profiling, researchers in Science have identified more than 4000 open reading frames—stretches of genetic material that can encode proteins—across 679 human-associated viral genomes. scim.ag/44mWZB6

On Thursday, we had a lab BBQ. On Saturday, my life’s work has been destroyed by an Iranian missile. Today, I received the Heidenthal award in Systems Biology. Here is what I said in my award lecture: facebook.com/share/p/1Fpm1Q…

So you want to change transgene expression: just change your promoter, right? Changing the promoter increases RNA and thus protein levels. What more could be happening? [1/n] Well, promoters don’t just set RNA levels; they uniquely transform how RNAs are transmitted into protein

A recent study from Shira Weingarten-Gabbay, a former postdoc in the Rice Lab, revealed 4,208 previously unknown proteins that are made by viruses such as influenza and H.I.V. using a new technique called massively parallel ribosome profiling. nytimes.com/2025/06/12/sci…

"This work by Shira highlights new dark matter in viral genomes that can influence disease and how we design vaccines," says Charles Rice. "It’s yet another layer of biology that was not appreciated but opens up exciting new opportunities for exploration."
