MicroRNA biogenesis is broadly disrupted by inhibition of the splicing factor SF3B1 (2024)
Journal Article
Downie Ruiz Velasco, A., Parsons, A. L., Heatley, M. C., Martin, A. R. G., Smart, A. D., Shah, N., & Jopling, C. L. (2024). MicroRNA biogenesis is broadly disrupted by inhibition of the splicing factor SF3B1. Nucleic Acids Research, Article gkae505. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae505

In animals, microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis begins with cotranscriptional cleavage of the primary (pri-)miRNA by the Microprocessor complex. Cotranscriptional splicing has been shown to influence Microprocessor cleavage when miRNAs are hosted in introns...

Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps (2024)
Journal Article
Bellows, E., Heatley, M., Shah, N., Archer, N., Giles, T., & Fray, R. (2024). Comparative transcriptome reprogramming in oak galls containing asexual or sexual generations of gall wasps. Plant Biology, 26(5), 798-810. https://doi.org/10.1111/plb.13670

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.

A genomic toolkit for winged bean Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (2024)
Journal Article
Ho, W. K., Tanzi, A. S., Sang, F., Tsoutsoura, N., Shah, N., Moore, C., …Mayes, S. (2024). A genomic toolkit for winged bean Psophocarpus tetragonolobus. Nature Communications, 15(1), Article 1901. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-45048-x

A sustainable supply of plant protein is critical for future generations and needs to be achieved while reducing green house gas emissions from agriculture and increasing agricultural resilience in the face of climate volatility. Agricultural diversi... Read More about A genomic toolkit for winged bean Psophocarpus tetragonolobus.
