Overview

Rolf Renne is affiliated with the University of Florida in the United States and has produced extensive research primarily in the fields of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, with additional contributions to Medicine.

Their research emphasizes Molecular Biology, Cancer Research, Oncology, Genetics, and Epidemiology. Key topics explored include microRNA in disease regulation, viral-associated cancers and disorders, cancer-related molecular mechanisms, RNA modifications and cancer, RNA regulation and disease, cytomegalovirus and herpesvirus research, and interferon and immune responses.

Renne's recent papers include:

  • The model student: GPT-4 performance on graduate biomedical science exams, 2024, Scientific Reports
  • EBV miRNAs are potent effectors of tumor cell transcriptome remodeling in promoting immune escape, 2021, PLoS Pathogens
  • Cross-Linking Ligation and Sequencing of Hybrids (qCLASH) Reveals an Unpredicted miRNA Targetome in Melanoma Cells, 2021, Cancers
  • Sequencing of Argonaute-bound microRNA/mRNA hybrids reveals regulation of the unfolded protein response by microRNA-320a, 2021, PLoS Genetics
  • A noncanonical microRNA derived from the snaR-A noncoding RNA targets a metastasis inhibitor, 2021, RNA

Frequent collaborators in the research include Lauren A. Gay, Daniel Stribling, Christopher J. Fields, Mingyi Xie, and Scott A. Tibbetts. Coauthorship with Lauren A. Gay is the most frequent among them.

Renne's work has been published repeatedly in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) with four articles, Scientific Reports with two articles, PLoS Pathogens, PLoS Genetics, and Current Protocols each with at least one publication.
