Our paper (@stoplab.bsky.social), in collaboration with the Nojima lab (@pol2rna.bsky.social @chiheron.bsky.social), on the role of chromatin modifier SETD2 at both ends of the transcriptional cycle, is now published in @emboreports.org 🪅 (1/5) link.springer.com/article/10.1...

My PhD work has been published٩( 'ω' )و Pol II transcription must be terminated at some point. What happens to the cell when Pol II cannot terminate transcription efficiently?

Regulation of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription is closely associated with cell proliferation. However, it remains unclear how the Pol II transcription program is rewired in cancer to promote u...

The remarkably long lifespan of bowhead whales could be due to an increased ability to repair DNA mutations, according to research in Nature. go.nature.com/4hzvDN7 🌏 🧪

This is figure 5, which shows CIRBP overexpression extends lifespan and enhances DNA damage resistance in Drosophila.

🚨 New preprint from our labs (STOP lab @stoplab.bsky.social & Nojima lab @pol2rna.bsky.social @pyrolyn.bsky.social)! We've been digging into how chromatin remodeler SETD2 controls the start and end of transcription 👇 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... (1/5)
