In this study, Gallicchio et al. describe how cleavage factor II (CFII) components serve as a mechanistic switch that controls alternative mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation during spermatogenic differentiation.

Adipose tissue gene expression and longitudinal clinical phenotypes are early biomarkers of lipid-regulating drug usage Scientific Reports - Adipose tissue gene expression and longitudinal clinical phenotypes are early biomarkers of lipid-regulating drug usage

Big news! My 1st first-author paper (2 years in making!) reveals adipose tissue gene expression and clinical traits predict future lipid drug use years ahead. Our model hit an impressive AUC of 0.919, dramatically outperforming traditional risk scores (0.722) for prediction! Link below rdcu.be/eDrKr

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

DNA hypomethylation promotes UHRF1-and SUV39H1/H2-dependent crosstalk between H3K18ub and H3K9me3 to reinforce heterochromatin states Liu etΒ al. report that DNMT1 inhibition causes transient accumulation of hemi-methylated DNA at CpG islands, which stimulates UHRF1-mediated H3K18ub. This enhances SUV39H1/H2 activity, nucleates new H...

Thrilled to share a new study from the lab revealing an H3K18ub-H3K9me3 crosstalk mechanism, roles for UHRF1 and its E3 ligase activity in regulating a hierarchy of repressive histone methylation signaling, and a strategy for targeting SUV39H1/H2 to improve DNMT1 inhibitor efficacy! #epigenetics

Interesting to see the discrepancy between different countries here, especially regarding the 'protests about scientific topics' section.

Transcriptional dynamics of sleep deprivation and subsequent recovery sleep in the male mouse cortex Sleep is an essential, tightly regulated biological function. Sleep is also a homeostatic process, with the need to sleep increasing as a function of being awake. Acute sleep deprivation (SD) increase...

I know I have been hammering down how bad sleep deprivation is for the brain transcriptome, but how much can you undo with a subsequent nap and how fast? Read our preprint and find out www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New preprint on our method aa-tRNA-seq: chemically capturing aminoacylated tRNA molecules & pulling them through nanopores. It’s been a blast working with my collaborator Aleks Radakovic to take this from idea to promising pilot data to some looking exciting biology to chase down in future work.
