Why can RNA only be linear or circular? It can be branched! We made multi-tailed mRNA, and we had fun! Here is our story led by brilliant graduate student @HongyuChenChem: rdcu.be/dB7ck and his cartoon illustration👇@ChemistryMIT @broadinstitute

CAST enables physical alignment of spatial omics data across replicates, techs, modalities at single-cell resolution. Such accurate alignment enables spatial atlas searching, unbiased DEG identification, and reconstruction of spatial multi-omics. DM for questions and collabs!

Thanks Dr. Rong Fan's perspectives on how RIBOmap and the profiling of whole RNA life cycle can serve in the context of spatial multi-omics to bridge the gap between (epi-)genotype to phenotype @RongFan8. BTW, the image illustration is just so cute science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
