Multi-omic profiling reveals an RNA processing rheostat that predisposes to prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and the third leading cause of cancer deaths. GWAS have identified variants associated with…

Copy number variation in tRNA isodecoder genes impairs mammalian development and balanced translation

The number of tRNA isodecoders has increased dramatically in mammals, but the specific molecular and physiological reasons for this expansion remain…

Anaesthesia, suicide prevention and rare disease research supported by Telethon 2022

The generous support of West Australians through Channel 7’s Telethon Trust will help support vital child health research at The Kids Research Instit…

Frankenstein Cas9: engineering improved gene editing systems

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9 and its widespread use has revolutionised and propelled research in biological sciences.

ANGEL2 phosphatase activity is required for non-canonical mitochondrial RNA processing

Canonical RNA processing in mammalian mitochondria is defined by tRNAs acting as recognition sites for nucleases to release flanking transcripts. The…

Organization and expression of the mammalian mitochondrial genome

The mitochondrial genome encodes core subunits of the respiratory chain that drives oxidative phosphorylation and is, therefore, essential for energy…

Preventative therapeutic approaches for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Sarcomeric gene mutations are associated with the development of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Current drug therapeutics for HCM patients are ef…

Fidelity and coordination of mitochondrial protein synthesis in health and disease

The evolutionary acquisition of mitochondria has given rise to the diversity of eukaryotic life. Mitochondria have retained their ancestral α-proteob…

OmicsVolcano: software for intuitive visualization and interactive exploration of high-throughput biological data

Advances in omics technologies have generated exponentially larger volumes of biological data; however, their analyses and interpretation are limited…

In silico evolution of nucleic acid-binding proteins from a nonfunctional scaffold

Directed evolution emulates the process of natural selection to produce proteins with improved or altered functions. These approaches have proven to…
