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

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

New preprint on our method aa-tRNA-seq: chemically capturing aminoacylated tRNA molecules & pulling them through nanopores. Itβs 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.
