We discovered a new lncRNA that is one of the most upregulated transcripts associated with U2AF1 mutation and has been missed by short-read approaches, likely due to overlap with repeat elements. This and many other transcripts to study for further functional follow up! 3/3

I hope the University of California is throwing its substantial lobbying power at the NIH to raise the R01 modular budget cap, which has been set at $250,000 per year since 2000. Twenty-two years. The entire lifetime of many grad students.
