Locked out of the wetlab on account of the earliest COVID lockdown (in 2020) -- and one student turns the situation into a nice piece of work. Read our latest paper @ BMC Genomics rdcu.be/cIt2W

How is p53 regulated? Paper with @rddowell in @PLOSBiology shows D40p53 isoform tempers WTp53 activity to allow input from other TFs. Surprisingly, D40p53 blocks WTp53-dependent eRNA transcription and prevents mRNA biogenesis despite pre-mRNA induction bit.ly/3kk7nBN

The Δ40p53 isoform inhibits p53-dependent eRNA transcription and enables regulation by signal-spe...

How does Δ40p53, a naturally occurring isoform of p53 that is linked to accelerated aging, alter WTp53 function? Using an innovative approach, this study reveals that Δ40p53 suppresses enhancer RNA...

Angelika was an amazing scientist and a fellow advocate for Down syndrome and aneuploidy work. This is a sad day for science.
Jason Sheltzer@JSheltzer29 Oct 2020
Angelika Amon passed away this morning. She was the greatest scientist I’ve ever met. This is a huge loss for her family, her friends, and for every biologist.

Our new paper is out today. We used CRISPR to uncover some really striking findings with several drugs and drug targets in clinical trials. Also, we accidentally found the first-ever inhibitor of the cyclin-dependent kinase CDK11. stm.sciencemag.org/content/1…
