⭐NAR Breakthrough! ⭐ 🧬 A synthetic RNA forms a #G-quadruplex without a G-rich sequence, using a complex 3D fold and GTP as a ligand. This suggests G-quadruplexes may be far more widespread in biologically important RNAs. Read more: doi.org/10.1093/nar/... #NARBreaktrhough #RNA #StructuralBiology

🚨Reposts appreciated‼️If I had read this PhD offer five years ago, I wouldn’t have hesitated for a second to apply 😉 Passionate about gene regulation, chromatin, and developmental biology? Just contact @radaiglesiaslab.bsky.social at @ibbtec.bsky.social 🧬✨ #PhD #3DGenome

What an amazing assay. DAF-seq, the evolution of Fiber-seq from the Andrew Stergachis group, using the @pacbio.bsky.social platform: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... This will revolutionise our understanding of transcriptional regulation and functional non-coding variants.

On behalf of @ckadoch.bsky.social and myself, we are pleased to present our upcoming @KeystoneSymposia, #KSEpigenetics26 Epigenetics and Gene Regulation in Health and Disease, March 2-5, in Geneva, Switzerland. keysym.us/KSEpigenetic...

Do not forget to apply to the FEBS Advanced Lecture Course: 6th Danube Conference on Epigenetics (19–22 October 2026, Budapest, Hungary. Will be a great meeting as always. Check out the site: network.febs.org/posts/febs-a...
