The more we know about both the more lncRNAs and transcription converge. This took a while but very happy with how it turned out. Public full text view access here: rdcu.be/fgqIb
🆕 review with @jp_unfried out in @NatureSMB 🧐. Direct roles of lncRNAs in transcriptional activation. What do we understand about how lncRNAs lure Pol2 and set the stage for RNA production, and what do we still miss? nature.com/articles/s41594-0…

Version of Record now out in @eLife
elifesciences.org/articles/1…, after a great review process.
Mega project by the mighty @AlanMonziani . I thought we're done with EPB41L4A-AS1, but reading the proofs gave me some more appetite, so who knows?
New preprint 📜 from @AlanMonziani in the lab – EPB41L4A-AS1 long noncoding RNA acts in both cis- and trans-acting transcriptional regulation and controls nucleolar biology biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… . A🧵 1/n

Last week's recap:
- Ballistic missile hit in the campus, causing extensive damage
- Relocated to a hotel, no idea of when/if able to return
- PhD frozen (with the thesis already submitted)
- Paper accepted
- Postdoc fellowship rejected
What a wild way to end

I am excited to share this story led by Yujing Cheng and Siwen Wang (not on X) in @CellCellPress which describes a new function for a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) in senescence and ribosome biogenesis. Read on for a brief 🧵1/

It seems you have something new to read: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
Extraordinarily excited and proud to see this paper out!
Many thanks to this fantastic team made up of brilliant scientists @martaandolfato @IGialdini @GlendaGrupelli @elena_goretti
Happy to share our recent publication on #TERRA participating in #telomerase regulation at human #telomeres. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…. Great work from @Bettinnicole_ and coworkers in collaboration with Chartrand lab @UMontreal. @ScienceAdvances @AIRC_it @CIBIO_UniTrento @UniTrento

Lab paper alert! Myc mRNA has a very short lifetime and can not be accumulated. Sharon @BenTikva shows that the frequency of Myc expression (transcriptional bursts), rather than its amounts, dictates B cell positive selection in germinal centers over time. science.org/doi/10.1126/scii…

Long non-coding RNAs comprise a large part of the genome, yet loss of one copy (haploinsufficiency) of a lncRNA is not known to cause a human disease. Read our preprint to learn how deletions of the lncRNA CHASERR cause a severe neurodevelopmental disorder.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
