New paper alert! The RNA ribosomal components are so essential that they appear as tons of back to back copies in the genome, which makes them really hard to analyse, so have been mostly ignored. But does it matter how many copies one has? A thread (1/9) cell.com/cell-genomics/…

interested in 3D genome organization during early development? want to understand how it is shaped by RNA? you like data analysis and developing new computational tools? 🧬💻🧐 With @golobor we are recruiting a PhD student/intern to work with us at @IMBA_Vienna

🎉Congratulations to the @Rakyan_lab ! @RosetreesT is proud to have supported this exciting work! 🎉

Thrilled to see our recent @CellGenomics paper on rDNA CN consequences in the @uk_biobank is getting some press coverage! With quotes from Vardhman (@Rakyan_lab) and Dave (@evans1_d) 👌 medicalxpress.com/news/2024-05-a…

Research led by @QMUL suggests that people with more copies of #rDNA have higher risks of developing inflammation and diseases during their lifetimes. qmul.ac.uk/media/news/202…

In case anyone cares, I'm not going to post here anymore. I will see how long I keep the acount active just in case, but from now on I'll see you where skies are bluer.

🚨New Review🚨 We've recently seen huge advances in our understanding of de novo DNA methyltransferase function. @WillowRolls and @mdrwilson and I have written a mini-review on what human disease mutations told us: doi.org/10.1042/BST202… #Epigenetics #Epigenomics 🧵 1/2

We present Single Myofiber Protein Function-Omics, a novel approach that enables the inspection of underlying proteome landscape, coupled with protein functionality - with all data derived from the exact same single SkM cell... #myotwitter biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We have put together an exceptional scientific programme for the @GenSocUK #Epigenetics2025 meeting to be held in Belfast. Are you interested in disease mechanisms and love epigenetics? Register here: REGISTER ONLINE: my.genetics.org.uk/item.php?event….

This Sunday, June 2nd, I'll be at #eshg2024 in Berlin presenting poster about this. If you're around and want to have a chat, come see me at poster P17.072.A! Feedback extremely welcome ☺️☺️

QMUL Epigenetics 'Design a Logo' competition! We are relaunching as the QMUL Centre for Epigenetics. Design a new logo for us & win a £250 prize! All details 👉qmulepigenetics.com/logocomp Deadline is 6pm GMT, June 6, 2024 and the competition is open to all. please RT

"Dear Editor, I have incorporated all suggestions from reviewer 2, and I hope you find the changes an improvement to the manuscript as a whole."

Forgot to say I'll be at the @Londonomics_net symposium this next Monday (May, 20th) giving a short talk about this work, in case you want to chat about it :)
