Journal Article
Taha, D. A., de Moor, C. H., Barrett, D. A., Lee, J. B., Gandhi, R. D., Hoo, C. W., & Gershkovich, P. (2016). The role of acid-base imbalance in statin-induced myotoxicity. Translational Research, The Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 174, doi:10.1016/j.trsl.2016.03.015. ISSN 1931-5244

Disturbances in acid-base balance, such as acidosis and alkalosis, have potential to alter the pharmacological and toxicological outcomes of statin therapy. Statins are commonly prescribed for elderly patients who have multiple co-morbidities such as... Read More

Genome-wide analysis of PAPS1-dependent polyadenylation identifies novel roles for functionally specialized poly(A) polymerases in Arabidopsis thaliana (2015)
Journal Article
polyadenylation identifies novel roles for functionally specialized poly(A) polymerases in Arabidopsis thaliana. PLoS Genetics, 11(8), doi:10.1371/journal.pgen.1005474

The poly(A) tail at 3’ ends of eukaryotic mRNAs promotes their nuclear export, stability and translational efficiency, and changes in its length can strongly impact gene expression. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes three canonical nuclear poly... Read More
