Interested in cutting-edge work in both the development and application of techniques to better understand gene regulation from a systems perspective? Abstract submissions are still open for this CSHL meeting: meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.aspx?…

Our new pre-print from the Greenberg and Churchman labs shows that activity-dependent modulation of RNA stability is a major, and underappreciated, mechanism of gene regulation in neurons. Tutorial below 👇 #page" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/11)

CRISPR screening by AAV episome-sequencing (CrAAVe-seq): a scalable cell-type-specific in vivo platform uncovers neuronal essential genes: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Have you wondered how incompletely processed and misprocessed RNAs are retained in the nucleus? Check out our new manuscript led by my talented postdoc Lusong Tian! LENG8 mediates RNA nuclear retention and degradation in eukaryotes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@fried_lab @JohnsHopkins Congrats!

My promotion and #tenure is now official @JohnsHopkins. Just feeling really happy and grateful for my students, colleagues, family, and friends. You've made the last 7 years in #Baltimore some of the best in my life! 😁

Excited to share our new work from Rosalind Xu, where we used MERFISH to build a single-cell spatial transcriptomic atlas of the mouse gut—and to explore host-microbiome interactions in situ! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

We’re seeking engaging speakers for our Fall 2025 SITN seminar series at BHS! This is a wonderful chance to share your expertise with a community who’s passionate about science, technology & medicine. Email the organizers at scienceinthenews.bhs@gmail.com to sign up/learn more!

Proud to introduce our lab’s very first PhD graduate, Dr. Kim (@GyeungYun_Kim)! He defended his thesis today—the same day his first-author paper hit the cover of @MolecularCell. What a way to graduate!

I got hit by some rather sudden and extreme financial hardship so if anyone is in need of remote wetlab contract research, strictly BSL1, do let me know. Currently scrambling for gigs. Plant, Bacterial, Archaeal Bioeng Custom Lab Hardware Turn Key Genetic Design Please RT 💚

Drop by for Science by the Pint tomorrow (Tues, Apr 29th) at 6:30 pm at The Seahag!

My lab is hiring a research assistant to work on 3D genome architecture in frog embryos. Please spread the word! #xenopus #chromatin 🐸 🧬🔬 employment.ku.edu/jobs/staff/ass…

A New Era

Preprint alert ‼️ Excited to share our work investigating liver zonation in human health and disease with our advanced single-cell Deep Visual Peoteomics framework. Thanks to the @PoratShliomLab and @MLSB_Borgwardt for this fruitful collaboration! 🚀

"These mice are massively adorable. They are significantly cuter than we anticipated, which probably means that our first-generation mammoths will also be equally as cute." – Ben Lamm 🧬

What an amazing discovery from Scott Kennedy's lab! A new splicing system that recognizes transposons and removes them from mRNAs! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@RamenNSaha Sorry for your loss - may his memory be a blessing

news.ucmerced.edu/news/2025/reco… Ariel was my next door 'neighbor' at work down the corridor. His office door was always open, where he could be seen working on his big screen, or training a student. He and I had many wonderful conversations, including some heartfelt one. RIP, Ariel! 🌼

Excited about mechanistic biology and processes in the cell's nucleus? Join our lab as a post-doctoral researcher! We have a state-of-the-art cryo-EM facility at HMS, a brand-new lab space, and a vibrant community at HMS! DM/email me or check farnunglab.com

#Breaking: The U.S. FDA approves our treatment for moderate-to-severe acute pain in adults. This is the first new class of pain medicine to be approved in over 20 years. Learn more: news.vrtx.com/news-releases/…

Excited to share my work from @geochurch lab in collaboration with @pranamanam and @mpsmela1 on rapid and efficient TF directed differentiation of human oogonia-like cells from hiPSCs! Part of @GametoGen’s ever expanding ovary in a dish platform. embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

What a pleasure to see this work online! nature.com/articles/s4146… Excellent work by our own Brianna Watson! And an amazing collaboration with Biplab Paul and Alan Mullen!
