“Regulation of mRNA and circRNA as a Cause and Consequence of Aging in” by Rebekah Napier-Jameson

Abstract A role for RNA binding proteins in regulating lifespan has emerged. We identified a pair of neuronal RBPs, exc-7 and mbl-1, which display synthetic lifespan defects. Such a strong synthetic phenotype represented an opportunity to use transcriptomics to search for potential causative targets that are synthetically regulated. We identified…
