RNA

Investigate biological diversity through RNA and translation research. The postdoctoral work includes ribosome profiling of natural yeast strains and development of methods for studying gene regulation.

This EMBO–EMBL symposium examines how messenger and non-coding RNAs transmit and regulate genetic information. It connects transcription, processing and modification, export and localisation, surveillance and decay, translation, and coupling between these processes. Sessions cover co-transcriptional and co-translational biology, RNA processing, RNP condensates, structure and regulation, and pathogens and therapeutics. The programme uses Europe/Berlin time: opening remarks on 13 October at 20:00, followed by the first keynote at 20:15; sessions begin at 09:00 on 14–15 October and 10:00 on 16 O

…could give rise to precursors of RNA and DNA, and discusses competing settings for life’s beginnings. Kaçar explains how reconstructing ancient genes helps researchers investigate the evolution of essential biological processes. Together, the conversations examine what experiments can reveal about the earliest steps toward life and whether replaying evolutionary history would produce different outcomes.

…are rich in nuclei acids such as RNA. The role of specific RNA sequences and structures in promoting the molecular identity of condensates formed for cell polarity and division and by the SARS CoV-2 virus will be discussed.

…virus-like capsids that encapsulate RNA. Endogenous Arc protein is released from neurons in extracellular vesicles that mediate the transfer of Arc mRNA into new target cells. Evolutionary analysis indicates that Arc is derived from a vertebrate lineage of Ty3/gypsy retrotransposons, which are also ancestral to retroviruses such as HIV. These findings suggest that Gag retroelements have been repurpo
