It’s finally out! The PhD work and first first author paper of Martino Ugolini: rdcu.be/dD5Vd. Congrats to all co-authors Maciej Kerlin, Ksenia Kuznetsova, Hiroshi Kimura, and Haruka Oda for the beautiful work! We also thank Sabrya Carim Nature Cell Biology for the pleasant review process.

Would you believe me if I told you that a single variant in a non-coding RNA explains ~0.5% of all undiagnosed individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) in Genomics England ???

I didn’t initially either, but here is the story of RNU4-2 🧵1/9

The Cell Cycle Chicken line- one of many fluorescent chicken lines participants will get a chance to try at EGGED2024! One month until registration closes meetings.embo.org/event/24-egged

I'm really looking forward to this meeting - sign up soon before the abstract deadline next week!

Abstract deadline for Craniofacial GRC in Barcelona is only 6 days away (Thursday March 7). There will be close to 30 short talks selected so please apply!

It was a privilege to speak at the #RareDiseaseDay reception held at the Institute of Genetics and Cancer with Genetic Alliance UK this week, and to meet people living with or impacted by rare diseases. Great to see my lab presenting a poster about our research to this audience too. A fantastic event!

Fantastic opportunity!

Delighted to have contributed to this special issue with coauthor Liang-Fu Chen a discussion of topological regulatory elements - many thanks to Geneviève Almouzni and Juanma Vaquerizas for the invitation!
