Exciting opportunity: we are hiring a postdoctoral fellow for a fully funded 2-year position!

18S and 25S Exonuclease Resistant Ribosomal RNA Molecules Are Produced by 5′‐End Modification During TOR Inhibition. Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces exonuclease-resistant rRNA molecules upon TOR inhibition. This phenomenon occurs when cells enter the diauxic phase, upon addition of rapamycin to the culture, or wh...

In the latest #Yeast research article, Miguel A. Rocha, Gowda Bhavani and Jacob Fleischmann investigate the role of exonuclease-resistant ribosomal RNAs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, their relationship with nutritional status and the TOR signalling pathway.
