A giant thank you to @drjz.bsky.social and @vidigaljoana.bsky.social! It takes a village to celebrate #RNAday

NIH had fun celebrating another #RNAday. Thanks to @vidigaljoana.bsky.social for organizing this great event and @slwolin.bsky.social for building a strong RNA community.

Unpause! I'm super happy to now be able to share the published version of our paper at Science Advances showing that: 1) active histone mods occur independently of transcription 2) transcription coordinates histone deacetylation at active promoters www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

My research group seeks a highly motivated Post-Bacc (or Tech). This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to research on cleavage-inducing tiny RNAs (cityRNAs) to treat neurological and neuromuscular disorders, Cancer, Alzheimer's diseases, etc. u.osu.edu/cbcundergrad...

Why NIH/NIGMS funding of basic research matters with our latest work now out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social sky.social. We solved a >30-year-old mystery of what transcription factor drives the Flamenco piRNA cluster required for female Drosophila fertility. /1 www.cell.com/cell-reports...

What was that you said? You are looking for new #RNA research to read in the weekend? You are in luck! 📣 📣 Check out the new preprint from our lab!!!! 📣 📣 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In the midst of everything it feels particularly appropriate to highlight all the amazing #RNA research taking place at #NIH! Follow this thread to join us for our biannual #RNASymposium, this year featuring intramural research superstars!

ARGONAUTES 2025 The grassroot meeting of Argonaute afficionados is looking for afficionados! Full coverage of Argonautes from prokaryotes to #RNAi, #piRNA and #microRNA Join us in Prague at @imgprague.bsky.social during 27-30/8, 2025. Registration, program and more info here: argonautes.img.cas.cz

Hi friends, If you haven't seen it already, I was part of a mess this week — about science in the United States, and about NIH research aimed at understanding things like Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, autism, and depression. 🧪 Thread with some details. 🧠📈 🧠🤖 1/10

Here is the peer-reviewed version of our study showing how some TAD borders are essential for gene regulation and development. Loss of a single CTCF motif is sufficient to cause embryonic lethality. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

#Argonautes2025 update ... it will happen this August (27-30) @imgprague.bsky.social. Our ITs are finishing and testing the website, the registration will open on March 1st. More info will be provided later (once all speakers reply to my e-mail, just saying, not pushing 😁). Poster announcement:

Out now in Dev Cell! scRNAseq trajectories describe the cascade of gene expression as cells differentiate, but turning them into a clear understanding of the underlying biology of a cell type's development remains challenging. authors.elsevier.com/c/1k9qj5Sx5g... (1/)

It’s been a though couple of weeks, but joining this place has felt like a breath of fresh air. Cherry on top of the cake: a visit from Narry Kim as part of NCI’s #RNAinitiative seminar series. An amazing talk by a giant in the #RNA field. What a treat!

Polycomb-bound regions form some of the strongest and most interesting focal interactions in the nucleus! But what happens when these regions become active and lose H3K27me3? Check the preprint below by the Kassis/Sun labs. 🪰🪰🎉🎉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Fellow #RNA lovers, please repost 🙏: 2 ERC-funded Post-doc positions are available in our lab to investigate #RNA structural ensemble and their dynamics in living cells. Application link: t.co/pYJ3H3j705

I am really enjoying the surge of people to bluesky but still kind of missing the VERY early career group of people! (Aging in academia is a funny thing) - I went ahead and made this starter pack go.bsky.app/Jq8YaQM - if you would like to be removed/added please let me know

7 years ago, I met a junior fellow named Jason Buenrostro who blew me away with a vision of futuristic genomic technologies Today, we (Ajay Labade, Caroline Comenho) are excited to share our first steps into that future: Expansion in situ genome sequencing 1/

Let's make a thread of RNA-related conferences in 2025 🧵 (add missing!)
