Ian Hoskins was one of the first students in the program to use Zoom for their qualifying exam. Congrats!!!

Our paper describing our ribosome profiling software ecosystem, is now available online in Bioinfomatics. From the abstract: "Ribosome occupancy measurements enable protein...

Welcome to Whitney and Andy who are joining us as rotating graduate students!

Our ribosome profiling analyses tools are available on github. These include a Nextflow-based preprocessing pipeline as well as a new binary file format for organizing ribosome profiling data ...

mRNA translation can be measured transcriptome-wide by sequencing of mRNA fragments protected by ribosomes from RNase digestion. This approach, called ribosome profiling, poses unique c...

In this study, we establish the feasibility of using isotachophoresis for simultaneous RNA purification and size selection. We designed and fabricated a chip for this purpose. We demonstrated seve...

Shortly after joining our lab, Hakan presented his research in the DNA & RNA Club of UT. With his talk, entitled “Mapping higher order structure of mRNPs”, Hakan received the best presentation ...

We moved our wet lab from its temporary location in NMS to its permanent place in Moffet Molecular Biology Building 2.122.

Graduate Student Ian Hoskins joined Cenik Lab after a succesful rotation. Ian is our first PhD student.

Tori and Shilpa represented Cenik Lab at the research retreat of UT on March 11, 2019. Tori presented her work on ribosome profiling and Shilpa gave a short talk on translation regulation.
