PtRFdb: a database for plant transfer RNA-derived fragments
Transfer RNA-derived fragments (tRFs) represent a novel class of small RNAs (sRNAs) generated through endonucleolytic cleavage of both mature and precursor transfer RNAs (tRNAs).

Next generation sequencing reveals the complete plastome sequence of newly discovered cliff-dwelling Sonchus boulosii (Asteraceae: Cichorieae) in Morocco [PDF]
The complete chloroplast genome sequences of newly discovered cliff-dwelling species of Sonchus, S. boulosii, were reported in this study. The S. boulosii plastome was 152,016 bp long, with the large single copy (LSC) region of 83,988 bp, the small ...

Platelets and tumor-associated RNA transfer.
Until recently the nucleic acid content of platelets was considered to be fully determined by their progenitor megakaryocyte. However, it is now well understood that additional mediators (e.g.

Nanodelivery of a functional membrane receptor to manipulate cellular phenotype. [PDF]
Modification of membrane receptor makeup is one of the most efficient ways to control input-output signals but is usually achieved by expressing DNA or RNA-encoded proteins or by using other genome-editing methods, which can be technically challenging ...

Transfer RNA modifications and cellular thermotolerance.
RNA molecules are modified post-transcriptionally to acquire their diverse functions. Transfer RNA (tRNA) has the widest variety and largest numbers of RNA modifications.

ER Membrane Contact Sites: Key Platforms for Biogenesis of RNA-Containing Extracellular Vesicles
The mechanisms by which cytoplasmic cargoes such as RNAs are incorporated into extracellular vesicles (EVs) are poorly understood. In a recent article published in Developmental Cell, we describe a novel function of endoplasmic reticulum membrane contact

Highly Sensitive Northern Hybridization Using a Rapid Protocol for Downward Alkaline Blotting of RNA
A simple and fast RNA gel blot procedureis described that uses 50 mM NaOH tosimultaneously transfer and fix RNA to apositively charged nylon membrane. TheRNA is transferred in a downward direction,and transfer is routinely completedwithin 2.5 h.
