The paper identifies WEE1, CDK1, and PLK1 as regulators of mRNA export during DNA replication stress, showing their role in preventing R-loop associated mRNA from being exported to the cytoplasm.

The paper identifies SCAF4-CPA and KHDRBS1/SAM68 as key regulators of RNAPII termination under CDK12 inactivation, showing termination dynamics influence elongation rate and response to inhibition.

CHEUI predicts m6A and m5C modifications at single-molecule resolution, revealing co-occurrence of these modifications in mRNAs across cell lines and tissues.

The paper uses spliceosome iCLIP to map human spliceosome engagement with snRNAs and pre-mRNAs, identifying over 50,000 branchpoints and their associated splicing factor binding patterns.
