Formamide significantly enhances the efficiency of chemical adenylation of RNA sequencing ligation adaptors [PDF]
Preadenylated single-stranded DNA ligation adaptors are essential reagents in many next generation RNA sequencing library preparation protocols. These oligonucleotides can be adenylated enzymatically or chemically.

Novel endoribonucleases as central players in various pathways of eukaryotic RNA metabolism [PDF]
For a long time it has been assumed that the decay of RNA in eukaryotes is mainly carried out by exoribonucleases, which is in contrast to bacteria, where endoribonucleases are well documented to initiate RNA degradation.

Gene editing with CRISPR-Cas12a guides possessing ribose-modified pseudoknot handles [PDF]
CRISPR-Cas12a is a leading technology for development of model organisms, therapeutics, and diagnostics. These applications could benefit from chemical modifications that stabilize or tune enzyme properties.

The RNA phosphatase PIR-1 regulates endogenous small RNA pathways in C. elegans [preprint] [PDF]
Eukaryotic cells regulate 5' triphosphorylated (ppp-) RNAs to promote cellular functions and prevent recognition by antiviral RNA sensors. For example, RNA capping enzymes possess triphosphatase domains that remove the γ phosphates of ppp-RNAs during RNA

An automated Bayesian pipeline for rapid analysis of single-molecule binding data
Analysis of single-molecule binding assays still requires substantial manual user intervention. Here, the authors present a pipeline for rapid, automated analysis of co-localization single-molecule spectroscopy images, with a modular user interface that ...

Trim25 is an RNA-specific activator of Lin28a/TuT4-mediated uridylation [PDF]
RNA binding proteins have thousands of cellular RNA targets and often exhibit opposite or passive molecular functions. Lin28a is a conserved RNA binding protein involved in pluripotency and tumorigenesis that was previously shown to trigger TuT4-mediated

Polymeric carriers for delivery of RNA cancer therapeutics [PDF]
As research uncovers the underpinnings of cancer biology, new targeted therapies have been de-veloped. Many of these therapies are small molecules such as kinase inhibitors that target specific proteins, however only 1% of the genome encodes for proteins

Long-term expression of Cas9 following precision genome editing in vivo may lead to undesirable consequences. Here we show that a single-vector, self-inactivating AAV system containing Cas9 nuclease, guide, and DNA donor can use homology-directed repair ...
