Technologies for Targeted RNA Degradation and Induced RNA Decay [PDF]
The vast majority of the human genome codes for RNA, but RNA-targeting therapeutics account for a small fraction of approved drugs. As such, there is great incentive to improve old and develop new approaches to RNA targeting.

A nuclear RNA degradation code is recognized by PAXT for eukaryotic transcriptome surveillance [PDF]
SUMMARY The RNA exosome plays critical roles in eukaryotic RNA degradation, but how it specifically recognizes its targets remains unclear. The PAXT connection is a nuclear adaptor that recruits the exosome to polyadenylated RNAs, especially transcripts ...

RNA degradation is required for the germ-cell to maternal transition in Drosophila [PDF]
Summary In sexually reproducing animals, the oocyte contributes a large supply of RNAs that are essential to launch development upon fertilization. The mechanisms that regulate the composition of the maternal RNA contribution during oogenesis are unclear.

Control of RNA degradation in cell fate decision. [PDF]
Cell fate is shaped by a unique gene expression program, which reflects the concerted action of multilayered precise regulation. Substantial research attention has been paid to the contribution of RNA biogenesis to cell fate decisions.

Deep learning models for predicting RNA degradation via dual crowdsourcing. [PDF]
Medicines based on messenger RNA (mRNA) hold immense potential, as evidenced by their rapid deployment as COVID-19 vaccines. However, worldwide distribution of mRNA molecules has been limited by their thermostability, which is fundamentally limited by ...

Pervasive effects of RNA degradation on Nanopore direct RNA sequencing. [PDF]
Oxford Nanopore direct RNA sequencing (DRS) is capable of sequencing complete RNA molecules and accurately measuring gene and isoform expression. However, as DRS is designed to profile intact RNA, expression quantification may be more heavily dependent ...

Rixosomal RNA degradation contributes to silencing of Polycomb target genes. [PDF]
Polycomb repressive complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and PRC2) are histone-modifying and -binding complexes that mediate the formation of facultative heterochromatin and are required for silencing of developmental genes and maintenance of cell fate1–3.
