Acetyl-methyllysine marks chromatin at active transcription start sites | Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

The #UIUC Dept of Microbiology is hiring a faculty member in virology! Apply by 10/16: go.mcb.illinois.edu/prof_virology Please RT & share with your networks! ASM Nature Microbiology @BlackInMicro

Check out our new tool: HiCrayon! It's a simple but powerful way of visualizing the overlap between 2D contact maps from Hi-C, Micro-C, etc. and 1D genomics data, such as ChIP-seq and compartment annotations. On BioRxiv and GitHub. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… github.com/JRowleyLab/HiC…

We're seeking talented postdocs from diverse backgrounds to present their research and engage with our community as part of the Rising Stars in Cell and Developmental Biology Symposium in early Fall 2024. DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JUNE 15! go.mcb.illinois.edu/risingstars

Glad to see this story out! It has been a long road since I started working on this in 2016 but I think we have uncovered an interesting post-transcriptional mechanism regulating polyploidy in the liver. Thanks for the opportunity and support Kalsotra Lab U of I School of Molecular and Cellular Biology!

We first saw evidence for this ~ 2019. We were super surprised & skeptical. After 5 years of quintuple cross-validation, we feel confident to share with the world.

Our single-cell, pan-cancer analysis of open chromatin in human cancers, done in collaboration with TCGA and the Chang and Corces labs (among others including Illumina), is out in Science today. Congrats to Laksshman Sundaram and all authors! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Genome-wide analyses correlate nuclear speckle proximity with gene expression. We share our minireview discussing possible functional relationships between nuclear speckles and gene expression in both health and disease: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

Nowhere else we’d rather be.

Deadline to apply is this Thursday! #microbiology #microbiologyjobs #academictwitter #academicjobs

Excited to share our unexpected finding: piRNA pathway designed to protect the genome from invading nucleic acids created a population of selfish small RNAs that have perpetuated themselves for the past hundred million years of mammalian evolution. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨🚨🚨 Thrilled to share our newest study — identifying functional long noncoding RNAs using transcriptome-scale RNA-targeting CRISPR screens. 🔎🔎🔎 We hope this scalable approach will be helpful for folks who want to connect noncoding RNAs to phenotypes & diseases.

Being able to measure and quantify this in a facile way has been a holy grail of the tRNA/mol biol field...let's hope this method is easy to adopt.. Nanopore sequencing of intact aminoacylated tRNAs biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m thrilled to share this story from Joshua Mendell and Jan Erzberger labs, led by postdoc extraordinaire Xiaoqiang Zhu! We showed that in addition to their canonical decoding function, tRNAs play a key role in regulating mRNA stability during translation. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

A major step forward toward high-resolution nanopore sequencing of full-length proteins dlvr.it/TGNNDD

🎉Excited to share our new preprint on Biorxiv 🥳 We uncover how RNA Polymerase III (Pol3) dynamically regulates tRNA transcription during heat shock (HS) stress! So what did we find? 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are excited to complete another Crispri screen targeting LncRNAs in monocytes. This time we are focusing on LncRNAs involved in promoting cell growth biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My lab has been working for the past 15 years to develop a method to isolate specific genomic loci to identify its chromatin composition & protein interactome. Finally,… our superb physician/scientist Dr. Bercin Cenik Bercin K Cenik did it and here it is cell.com/molecular-cell… Not

journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… First big Tucker lab paper! Everyone in the lab made an appearance on the author list:) So proud and grateful for our collaborators and to the editors/reviewers for helping us improve the manuscript.
