Exciting news! We created the first therapeutics from the dark transcriptome & are featured as the cover article in Science Signaling! We chemically synthesized & optimized #lncRNA from the dark transcriptome & used them as exogenous drugs to treat disease. #medsky #scisky #science lnkd.in/dpNEaJ8j
