  • "Conditional depletion of transcriptional kinases Ctk1 and Bur1 and effects on co-transcriptional spliceosome assembly and pre-mRNA splicing" (2021) in RNA Biology
  • "Transcription and splicing: A two-way street" (2020) by Michael Tellier in Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews - RNA (not a direct publication by Maudlin but linked to the research area)
  • "Black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis) phospholipases A2 may cause Trypanosoma brucei death by blocking endocytosis through the flagellar pocket" (2022) by Andrea Martos-Esteban in Scientific Reports (a coauthor's work closely related to the field)
  • "Black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis) phospholipases A2 cause Trypanosoma brucei death by blocking endocytosis through the flagellar pocket" (2021) by Andrea Martos-Esteban in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Ian Maudlin has published in various journals, with frequent venues including Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews - RNA, Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, RNA Biology, Scientific Reports, and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).
