RD-SPRITE maps sex-specific RNA-RNA and RNA-DNA interactions in Drosophila S2 and Kc nuclei, revealing spliceosome-linked snRNA targeting and new long non-coding RNAs.
- Why it matters: Nuclear bodies target chromatin and RNA processing, but how their RNA-mediated interactions are organized in 3D—and differ by sex—remains unclear.
- What they did: Using RD-SPRITE, the authors generated sex-specific interaction maps in Drosophila S2 (male) and Kc (female) cells, then repeated datasets with and without the transcription factor CLAMP.
- The result: CLAMP regulates global spliceosomal chromatin interactions, inhibits aberrant snRNA contacts, and shapes sex-specific RNA interactions tied to splicing, enabling community exploration via FlySprite.
