@fxquah.bsky.social 's paper is finally out @genomeresearch.bsky.social and we made the cover!! This was only possible due to the brilliant illustration by @sonhita.bsky.social Paper here: genome.cshlp.org/content/35/5... See below for more details 🧵

The X-chromosome holds a fascinating secret, one of its copies in female cells is completely silenced! But how does this happen? 🤯A mystery lncRNA called Xist spreads across the chromosome, shutting it down like a molecular off switch. Still, there's so much we don't know👀 #xist #RNA #GeneRegulation
