Human and plant pathogenic fungi from the order Mucorales contain fewer tRNA introns than most eukaryotes and use a different tRNA splicing pathway. These tRNA splicing enzymes also splice the Xbp1/HA bit.ly/3HVDWC4

We are delighted to announce our next RNA Society Member Spotlight! rnasociety.org/prof--cassand… Prof. Cassandra Hayne just opened her lab at the University of Chicago, and her work focuses on uncovering the structural and biochemical basis of disease-relevant RNA processing complexes. In this month’s piece, written by Dr. Jennifer Porat, she shares the inspiration behind her decision to pursue a science career, her approach to mentorship, and her creative pursuits that have recently led to some very enviable lab gear.
