I will discuss the dynamics of RNA and RNA-binding proteins in 3 subcellular contexts: interactions occurring in the nucleus within nuclear bodies and the connection to splicing; during the export of RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm through the nuclear pore complex; and finally in the cytoplasm - the formation of phase separated granules during stress, in particular chemotoxic stress, and the role of RNA in the assembly of these granules.
