Hello Twitter! We're the Boutz Lab at @UR_Med & @UofR in Rochester, NY. Our group uses bioinformatic and molecular biology tools to investigate rna processing machinery and its applications in medicine and beyond. Tweets are made by lab members, and members are made by rna.

I just did an updated calculation of what happens to America if we do nothing. And it is nothing short of terrifying.
The current rate of spread is a near-perfect exponential. If we do not change our behavior dramatically and fast, here is what the math says: 1/n

On Thursdays, we usually highlight a single RNA scientist on our little platform. But since the Women In Science-Day was just two days ago, we wanted to take the opportunity to emphasize the importance and necessity of female researchers in general and in our field. (1/4)

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the lab
not a buffer was stirring, not a timer gone mad.
Happy Holidays from the Boutz Lab!

From a paper published in @nature yesterday by @HarvardMed scientists.
I just reported it to the EiC, with shaking hands and pounding heart because scary to see that this passed #peerreview and editorial screening in such a high impact journal.

Big congrats to our friends across the hall and especially to the "Outstanding Investigator" himself @mitchellrayoco1! Well deserved. We can't wait to see more of the lab's cool research on CRISPR-Cas systems. #teamRNA

I'm thrilled (and relieved!) to announce that my lab has been awarded our first ever NIH grant: an R35 MIRA! Super grateful to @NIH / @NIGMS for 5 years of funding to continue our on how RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas systems work!
