An 800-protein screen yields new RNA biology

The project screened over 800 RNA-binding proteins for effects on poly(A) selection, which is the kind of experiment that actually changes what we know

In this fun collaboration with @yeo_lab , we screened over 800 RNA-binding proteins for their activities in regulating poly(A) selection and found some expected hits! Co-led by @pratibhajagann_ from Gene's lab and @YoseopYoon in my lab
