Amazing news, Alex!!! Well done!!!! 🙌🙌

📣 New preprint 📣

We present a detailed map of nascent and mature ribosomal RNAs in mouse hematopoiesis and AML (including absolute rRNA molecule numbers), and outline principles of rDNA regulation.

Work by Eleanor Sams (@eleanor44.bsky.social) & Victoria Feist (@victoriafeist.bsky.social). (1/x)

NIH is allowing us to recruit postbacs and postdocs again. Please reach out if you are interested in working with us! Ad: genomeinformatics.github.io/jobs2025/

Suffice to say, not so enthralled myself

Our next guest speaker webinar is happening next Friday, May 9th at 14:00 GMT. Omer Bayraktar will give a talk on: "Mapping the rules of glioblastoma using single cell and spatial multiomics". To join please follow the link below: www.qmul.ac.uk/epigenetics/...

🚨Check out our significantly updated preprint, now out on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social. Together with Sasi Conte lab, we characterize a novel role for intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in promoting RNA-binding selectivity in RNA binding proteins (RBPs): www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I am recruiting for a postdoc in my lab at @blizardinstitute.bsky.social @qmulepigenetics.bsky.social to work on explainable AI/ML and epigenetics with a focus on enhancers. 3-year BBSRC funded position. A collaboration with @a-radzisheuskaya.bsky.social
qmul-jobs.tal.net/vx/mobile-0/.... Pls share.

Had the pleasure of hearing about this cool story from @rakyanlab.bsky.social and @franrodalg.bsky.social last summer, congrats to all involved.

Thrilled to share the lab's latest preprint on the phenotypic impact of SNVs and INDELs in human rDNA using UK Biobank data!

Until I read you mentioning it wasn't the case, that's exactly what I was seeing there as well 🤦‍♂️

🚨Thanks to generous support from @cancerresearchuk.org, we have multiple postdoctoral positions available in our lab (www.mardakhehlab.info) @oxfordbiochemistry.bsky.social to study ribosomes synthesis in cancer. Get in touch if you’re interested + RT and spread the word! 📣 #cancer #RNA 🚨

QMUL Epigenetics Centre (www.qmul.ac.uk/epigenetics/) is looking to recruit a senior lecturer with expertise in Genomics/Epigenomics and/or cell-free DNA. This is an excellent opportunity to join a strong Epigenetics and genomics community. Pl share/apply here

The world has been through anti-science cycles before, to disastrous results

On a detour on my lit review, a mosey through the history of our familiar friend, the standard onion (Allium cepa) brought me right to one of botany's greatest cautionary tales of what happens when ideology overrides data

So excited that our work on predicting gene expression from histone modifications using deep learning is out in NAR today. Brilliant to work with lead author @al-murphy.bsky.social and collaborators Aydan Askarova, @borislenhard.bsky.social and Nathan Skene 🧬⭐️🙏
