This study identifies v-snoRNA1 as an EBV-encoded RNA that directs 2'-O-methylation of host rRNAs, affecting translation and viral lytic switch.

Phoenix identifies cell-type and trajectory-associated pathways in single-cell data using random forest models and non-parametric testing, outperforming existing tools in capturing small pathway activities and revealing cross-species overlaps.

The paper identifies rRNA methylation dynamics as a mechanism regulating translation efficiency and HSC fitness during hematopoietic differentiation.
