A research group in the Biochemistry department (@CamBiochem) from the University of Cambridge (@Cambridge_Uni) exploring the RNA Universe! 🧬✨
Cambridge, UK
Joined February 2013
What do researchers studying RNA structure, RNAi, ncRNA, genome stability, epigenetics & inheritance have in common? 🤯 🧬 If you guessed “They all study RNA,” you're right. But also… they all exist in harmony in the Miska Lab!

Ever heard of an organism that rebuilds its genome from scratch? Meet Oxytricha, the wonder that shreds & reassembles DNA pieces guided by RNA! Join us 15th Sept at 13h for Landweber’s @LandweberLab @Columbia talk at @CamBiochem to explore this case of natural genome editing

Happy RNA day!!
Happy #RNADay! 🧬✨From regulating gene expression to shaping evolution, and now powering next-gen therapeutics... RNA does it all! Here’s to the molecule that never stops surprising us. The future is RNA, and it’s only getting more exciting! @CamBiochem @RNASociety

Don’t miss @ecwalsh presenting her poster right now at #RNA25 @RNASociety! She’s showcasing her work on RNA-DNA interactions using the powerful RADICL-seq technique. Stop by poster 312! It's cutting-edge and seriously cool! 🔍🧬
Excited to be in San Diego at @rnasociety ‘s annual meeting! #RNA25 ! Let’s discuss chromatin-associated RNAs and enhancer-promoter interactions at poster 312 🧬 @ericmiskalab

Here is a previous more detailed thread on our findings👀:
Latest lab preprint! Work led by newly minted PhD Fu Xiang Quah (not on X). Using a pangenome approach to characterise structural variants (SVs) in cichlids, Fu found a substantial amount of SVs attributable to transposable elements (TEs). 🧬🐠🐠🧬 https://t.co/fdjnlI11Io

We built the first African cichlid pangenome and found substantial structural variation, uncovering previously underappreciated genomic diversity in these fishes. Up to 75% of the structural variation found is attributable to transposable elements!
