Interested in genomics & RNA research? Craving a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment? Come join the Pai Lab @UMassMedRTI for a postdoc! Inquiries welcome from recent grads (to start soon) & future grads (for later) - email or DM me. PLEASE RT!

Congrats to Victor and Gary!! Victor is profoundly beloved here at @UMassChan , he always has the most interesting questions and ideas and is 100% kind all the time - a truly brilliant and generous spirit. He lifts up our entire community! Very well-deserved.

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

@fluca2406 @HGEN_UChicago Congrats Francesca, so exciting! Yet another reason to come visit Chicago 😀

It’s time for the official announcement: the Luca Lab is moving to UChicago ⁦⁦⁦@HGEN_UChicago⁩ - get in touch if you are interested in studying GxE in the Windy City!

@jmschreiber91 @IMPvienna @UMassChan So excited that you’ll be down the hall @UMassBioInfo and looking forward to chatting more science!

Thrilled to announce that I'll be joining the incredible researchers at @IMPvienna for a year as a visiting scientist and then joining @UMassChan as an assistant professor in Genomics+CompBio in 2025! At both places, I'll be continuing my work on deep learning + genomics.

🚨Interested in or working on computational #RNA methods/tech/genomic analyses? 🚨 Join us in July @iRnaCosi #ISMB2024 in Montreal! Deadline for abstract submission in ONE WEEK (April 19th)! ⏰⌛️easychair.org/conferences/?c…

Very excited to share our latest work on spatial connection between transcripts starts and ends (1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@GTExPortal @ENCODE_NIH This work was driven by @ecalvoroitberg & @__ccarroll in a long-term collaboration between my lab & @anafiszbein lab! A huge thanks to Sergey Venev and @job_dekker for collaborating on micro-C analyses and crucial contributions from @GyeungYun_Kim & @steventmick (8/8)

@GTExPortal @ENCODE_NIH Together, our results suggest that a combination of gene architecture, chromatin domains, and kinetic mechanisms ultimately influence the regulation of mRNA isoform composition (7/8)

New preprint alert! We find that spatial and kinetic mechanisms underlie coordinated regulation of mRNA initiation and termination across a gene. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A thread 🧵 (1/8)

@aemonten Or is it actually the perfect acronym? 😉

PITA is probably not the best acronym to use 😅 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats @valuchisanabria !

@Riboclub_Canada @fiddle @karine_choquet @RouskinLab

Anyone need a ride from Boston to @Riboclub_Canada annual meeting in a few weeks? I'm happy to drive, but looking for company!

Mary Munson started her research career in a laboratory at the same time as two more outgoing male scientists. She eventually realized being the quiet one wouldn’t do her any favors. ow.ly/pgtY50PFz8H

Our center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston is hiring more faculty in RNA Biology. Application deadline is October 20. nature.com/naturecareers/…
