Excited to share our latest study, published in @NatureComms, on X-linked lncRNA loci and their epigenetic signatures! Here we dissected the in vivo roles of Crossfirre, Firre, and Dxz4, exploring their potential impacts on imprinted & random XCI, as well as on autosomes 👇

Brief Report: Neurodevelopmental Disorder Caused by Deletion of 𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘙, a lncRNA Gene nej.md/48gS1WY
Science behind the Study: Linking a Neurodevelopmental Disorder with a lncRNA Deletion nej.md/4hkctuu
#Genetics
ALT Panel A: Human chromosome 15q26.1, with a 500-kb inset showing a gene-sparse region upstream of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) CHASERR (teal) and its tandem coding gene CHD2 (light green). Panel B: Increased CHD2 protein abundance in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from Patients 1 and 2, as compared with iPSCs from sex-matched wild-type controls, an unrelated female with CHD2 haploinsufficiency (CHD2 /−), and CHD2−/− CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)–Cas9 knockout iPSCs. Panel C: RNA sequencing in whole-blood samples, cultured fibroblasts, and iPSCs obtained from Patients 1 and 2 and cultured neural precursor cells obtained from Patient 1.

🔬New research from @ipekresearch
Here, we provide insights on the protective role of the RNA-binding protein MEX3A in human and mouse atherosclerosis.
@CRC1123_Athero @trr267 @CircAHA @dzhk_germany @YoungDZHK

Could Mex3a be the key to preventing atherosclerosis? New findings reveal its role in endothelial integrity and inflammation—could this RNA-binding protein be a new therapeutic target for CAD? @5antus @FlorianaFarina @ChenZhifen ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.…

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine goes to #RNA biologists again this year!
In this case, I am glad that we added a small piece to the remarkable let-7 biology, highlighted in the cover story a few years ago:

MicroRNA genes have evolved and expanded within the genomes of multicellular organisms for over 500 million years.
Today, we know that there are more than a thousand genes for different microRNAs in humans, and that gene regulation by microRNA – discovered by this year’s medicine laureates – is universal among multicellular organisms.

Passenger mutations in KO mice can alter nearby gene expression & affect experimental outcomes!
Inherited mutations, from donor strains, may lead to misleading phenotypes.
Always consider them in your study design!
Here is an example we just published:
