The RNA Transcript, August 1, 2022
Happy RNA DAY! AUG1
RNA day is celebrated on August 1. This day is chosen due to the start codon abbreviation AUG1 present in all messenger RNAs (mRNAs).

We welcome you to take a moment today to celebrate our favorite vital biological molecule!

Milan Samanta is a Ph.D. student in the Sundeep Kalantry lab. Milan hopes his research will advance the understanding of the gene regulation in very early development, and that the fundamental understanding of how gene regulation occurs could contribute to the treatment of human disease.
