We made the cover of Genome Research! Check out our latest paper on DDX3X and DDX3Y - the first X-Y gene pair with cross regulatory capabilities (genome.cshlp.org/content/35/…).

Building on the great work of @ttukiainen, we find two additional completely skewed females in @GTExPortal. Using this unique genetic data we generate "A whole-organism landscape of X-inactivation in humans"! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.102701 @eLife. Great detective work by @BGylemo 🥳🙏

One small step for X-inactivation, one giant leap for @theNestorLab. So happy that our first paper on XCI is out in @NatureComms. A study into human T-cell development took a wild turn when we found one female was fully skewed for XCI! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

We are delighted to share our latest preprint led by @JeremieSubrini 🚨 What are the specific functions of each Y-chromosome gene in fertility ? We generated and studied 13 Y-gene KO mouse models to find out! 🧬 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
