Excited to share our updated HiDRO paper in @nature rdcu.be/dgGge! We used HiDRO to screen for druggable regulators of 3D genome folding. We further characterized a novel noncanonical function of GSK3A in regulating cohesin. Brief summary highlighting what’s new: 1/
Our HiDRO paper is now published in @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0… Since the preprint, we made a few key additions worth checking out. Thanks to reviewers for their helpful suggestions! Original tweetorial posted below:

I’m excited to share our new study, “Spatial mapping of RNA turnover kinetics in the mouse brain,” published in Nature Neuroscience @NatureNeuro After six years of work, we now have a framework for studying RNA kinetics in living animals.

In a medical milestone, a customized base editor was developed, characterized in human and mouse cells, tested in mice, studied for safety in non-human primates, cleared by @US_FDA for clinical trial use, manufactured as a complex with an LNP, and dosed into a baby with a severe, rapidly progressing genetic disease... all in an astounding 7 months. Best of all, the infant patient shows apparent benefit. Congratulations to @kiranmusunuru, Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, and other team members for this heroic and inspiring effort, which has implications for the hundreds of millions of patients that suffer from thousands of genetic diseases. drive.google.com/file/d/1Jfk…

The first cancer-related story from our group @WeillCornell is now published in @MolecularCell. We investigate the role of hyperconnected 3D regulatory hubs in controlling oncogenic programs and properties in glioblastoma and also across 16 cancer types. cell.com/molecular-cell/full…

My colleagues and I just published a paper in eClinicalMedicine evaluating effects of vaccination on long COVID risks in children and adolescents during the Delta and early Omicron periods. These data were from the RECOVER network including 21 pediatric hospital networks from all over the USA, including 112,590 adolescents during the Delta period, and 84,735 adolescents and 188,894 children during the early Omicron period. Long COVID-19 (post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2, PASC, or multi-system inflammatory syndrom, MIS) was defined using a symptom-based computable phenotype definition based on five body systems. Our analyses utilized propensity score weighting to adjust for confounding from age, demographics, medical co-morbidities as well as healthcare utilization including past COVID-19 testing practices, and we used proximal analyses with negative control exposures and outcomes to investigate and adjust for potential residual bias from unmeasured confounders. In adolescents 12-20yrs, we found vaccination resulted in 95.4% reduced risk of long COVID-19 during the Delta period, and 75.1% during the Omicron period. In children 5-11yrs, we found vaccination resulted in 60.2% reduced risk of long COVID-19 during he Omicron period. To evaluate how much of this vaccine protection was from reduced risk of infection and how much was reduced risk of long COVID-19 independent of any effect in reducing infection, we performed a causal mediation analysis to split the total vaccine effect into indirect effects, mediated through reducing risk of infection, and direct effects, independent of any reduced risk of infection. Again, propensity score weighting was used to carefully adjust for potential confounders. We found that the protective effect of vaccines on long COVID-19 was almost wholly mediated through its reduced risk of infection. Various sensitivity analyses were done and included in the online supplement along with a detailed description and explanation of all methods and modeling decisions. @chenyong1203 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Beyond thrilled to present our O-MAP—now *published* @naturemethods (!!!) O-MAP is a powerful new method for biochemically "dissecting" the subcellular microenvironment around an RNA of interest, using off-the-shelf parts and standard manipulations. 🧵 nature.com/articles/s41592-0…

Excited that our paper is now out at @genomeresearch (genome.cshlp.org/content/34/…)! We’ve since expanded upon our analyses of cell type-specific mRNA decay & looked at miRNA targets 😎 Thanks to our reviewers & editors for improving our work & to my coauthors Erik and @jisaacmurray !
Time for my first tweet! 🥳🥳🥳 I’m excited to share a preprint of my work in @jisaacmurray lab studying mRNA decay in the worm embryo! The main message is that mRNA decay can be highly regulated and contributes to developmental gene expression! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Many young physicians are finding out today for the first time how much less complicated it was to take care of patients a decade ago.
