    How ancient RNA survives and what we can learn from it

    Although normally transient, RNA can persist postmortem when preserved by cold, desiccation or chemical treatment. In this Comment, we discuss how ancient RNA enables the study of gene expression of (pre)histo...

    Detection of transcriptome-wide microRNA–target interactions in single cells with agoTRIBE

    MicroRNAs (miRNAs) exert their gene regulatory effects on numerous biological processes based on their selection of target transcripts. Current experimental methods available to identify miRNA targets are labo...

    The SWI/SNF subunit BRG1 affects alternative splicing by changing RNA binding factor interactions with nascent RNA

    BRG1 and BRM are ATPase core subunits of the human SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complexes mainly associated with transcriptional initiation. They also have a role in alternative splicing, which has been shown...

    Male swarming aggregation pheromones increase female attraction and mating success among multiple African malaria vector mosquito species

    Accumulating behavioural data indicate that aggregation pheromones may mediate the formation and maintenance of mosquito swarms. However, chemical cues possibly luring mosquitoes to swarms have not been adequa...

    EXOSC10 is required for RPA assembly and controlled DNA end resection at DNA double-strand breaks

    The exosome is a ribonucleolytic complex that plays important roles in RNA metabolism. Here we show that the exosome is necessary for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in human cells and that RNA c...

    Signatures of positive selection reveal a universal role of chromatin modifiers as cancer driver genes

    Tumors are composed of an evolving population of cells subjected to tissue-specific selection, which fuels tumor heterogeneity and ultimately complicates cancer driver gene identification. Here, we integrate c...
