Our latest - great work by Dor @dor_shalev1 with help from @GilGolan73 @YaelmgLAB and others - showing a role for Acvr1c in downregulation of Mkrn3 expression. academic.oup.com/narmolmed/arti…
Looking fowards tmrw to our Cancer Epigenetics symposium. @BiologyTechnion @TechnionLive @technion All welcome.

Together with @ReizelTzachi and Dvir Aran @biologytech
We had a great trip yesterday to Caesarea with @TechnionLive Harvey prize laureates Profs Stephen Baylin, Andy Feinberg and Peter Jones

Happy to share our latest work on the non-coding elements regulating Lhb which encodes the pituitary gonadotropic hormone that controls reproduction, involving an i-motif, eRNA and adjacent lncRNA through distinct mechanisms in a sex-specific context. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Wouldn’t it be great to test how individual transcription factors engage with their motif in the nucleus? We tried exactly that in a study lead by Ralph (@RalphSGrand) and Marco (@marco_heffler) now out in Molecular Cell authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S10…. 1/7
