🧬🔬 Why are enhancers transcribed and how does that impact gene regulation? I’m really excited to share our new paper in @science.org showing that noncoding RNAs control the timing of gene activation in embryos. With Mike Levine #ScienceResearch @columbiamed.bsky.social A few highlights below... 🧵👇

Noncoding transcription controls the developmental dynamics of long-range gene regulation
The genomic regions regulating gene expression are often themselves transcribed into a variety of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, the regulatory roles of this noncoding transcription remain largely ...

Why are structural variants (SVs) usually found at lower frequencies than SNPs? One prediction is that SVs should be enriched among deleterious mutations. Testing that idea has been difficult, partly because many SVs are hard to detect with traditional sequencing approaches. 🧵 1/7
