Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps (2024)
Journal Article

Oak gall wasps have evolved strategies to manipulate the developmental pathways of their host to induce gall formation. This provides shelter and nutrients for the developing larva. Galls are entirely host tissue; however, the initiation, development... Read More about Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps.

The METTL3 RNA Methyltransferase Regulates Transcriptional Networks in Prostate Cancer (2022)
Journal Article
Haigh, D. B., Woodcock, C. L., Lothion-Roy, J., Harris, A. E., Metzler, V. M., Persson, J. L., …Mongan, N. P. (2022). The METTL3 RNA Methyltransferase Regulates Transcriptional Networks in Prostate Cancer. Cancers, 14(20), Article 5148. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers14205148

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths and is driven by aberrant androgen receptor (AR) signalling. For this reason, androgen deprivation therapies (ADTs) that suppress androgen-induced PCa progression either by preventing...

CMTr cap-adjacent 2′-O-ribose mRNA methyltransferases are required for reward learning and mRNA localization to synapses (2022)
Journal Article
Haussmann, I. U., Wu, Y., Nallasivan, M. P., Archer, N., Bodi, Z., Hebenstreit, D., …Soller, M. (2022). CMTr cap-adjacent 2′-O-ribose mRNA methyltransferases are required for reward learning and mRNA localization to synapses. Nature Communications, 13(1), Article 1209. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-28549-5

Cap-adjacent nucleotides of animal, protist and viral mRNAs can be O-methylated at the 2`position of the ribose (cOMe). The functions of cOMe in animals, however, remain largely unknown. Here we show that the two cap methyltransferases (CMTr1 and CMT...

Modeling Enzyme Processivity Reveals that RNA-Seq Libraries Are Biased in Characteristic and Correctable Ways (2016)
Journal Article
Archer, N., Walsh, M. D., Shahrezaei, V., & Hebenstreit, D. (2016). Modeling Enzyme Processivity Reveals that RNA-Seq Libraries Are Biased in Characteristic and Correctable Ways. Cell Systems, 3(5), 467-479. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cels.2016.10.012

© 2016 The Author(s) Experimental procedures for preparing RNA-seq and single-cell (sc) RNA-seq libraries are based on assumptions regarding their underlying enzymatic reactions. Here, we show that the fairness of these assumptions varies within libr...
