Check out our surprising finding in nuclear invagination's function: regulating ribosome biogenesis. Nuclear tunnels = more ribosomes! I am proud of my talented student @YinyinZhuang, and inspiring collaborators @wtzhaolab, @ChrisEMiles, and @razorenovalab!

New paper from @ThompsonPeerLab in my department (Developmental and Cell Biology) @UCIBioSci . Congrats Vini, Vicky, Dario and Katie!

New paper alert from the Butler lab! We have used pseudotime analyses of scRNA-Seq in vivo and in vitro datasets to examine the lineage trajectories in the developing dorsal spinal cord to identify novel regulators of dorsal neural fates. 🧵journals.biologists.com/dev/…

After 5 years in NYC, I am happy to announce that I will be moving to California to join @UCIBioSci @UCIrvine, to start an Assistant Professor position. This wouldn't be possible without the support of my amazing mentor @DrShrutiNaik, #NaikLab, and @theLundLab, @niroanandalab.

Check out our new studies published in @ImmunityCP. Big thanks to @ipsitassubudhi, @DrShrutiNaik, and the whole Naik team!

You pseudorandom reminder that almost everything we know about molecular neuroscience was characterized in squid 🦑, crustaceans 🦞, flies 🪰, or worms🪱 long before being rediscovered in cute mice 🐭

Our preprint characterizing mouse developmental Enhancer—Promoter interactions by @Czx17943830 is out today @NatureGenet rdcu.be/dBRPu
See also a complementary study on fly Enhancer—Promoter interactions from @Eileen_Furlong nature.com/articles/s41588-0…
How important is Enhancer—Promoter physical proximity for developmental gene activation? Happy to share our work led by postdoc Zhuoxin Chen @Czx17943830 where we systematically address this question in vivo. (1/n)

How to test the functional impact of noncoding variants in vivo? Happy to share our work led by @ewholling where we developed dual-enSERT, a new method that enables rapid, quantitative comparison of human enhancer variant activities in live mice. Check this Tweetorial for details – at Irvine, CA
Much of human disease-linked variation maps to regulatory regions. Yet, our ability to test the effects of these noncoding variants remains limited.
In our new @biorxiv preprint, we asked if we could begin to chip away at this bottleneck: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our department @UCIBioSci has two openings for tenure-track AP positions in the areas of genome regulatory mechanisms (recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08721) and stem cell/regenerative biology (recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08722). It’s a great and supportive place to start a lab. Deadline 12/15 Please RT

Today, it was a pleasure to co-moderate the Women in Science panel with @Giulia_Tedeschi at the Undergraduate Student Initiative for Biomedical Research (USIBR) program.
Huge gratitude to our panelists: @michelledigman @ThompsonPeerLab @DingFangyuan @allvall and Star Lee.

we are in for a TREAT tonight! @ThompsonPeerLab is here to teach us all things neural cell biology and dendritic regeneration. such gorgeous dendrite images and a wonderful intro by Emma! #cshlfly23

starting with history! @ThompsonPeerLab highlights the jans' reminiscences on @CSHLflycourse and reminds us of the rich history wehave the honor of being a part of. #cshlfly23

We've assembled the first draft of a #FlyLabList wiki.flybase.org/wiki/FlyBas…, aiming to include all labs doing Drosophila (any species) research. Our goal is to help our colleagues find Fly Labs in particular geographical locations & to gain an accurate number of Fly Labs worldwide.
