The more we know about both the more lncRNAs and transcription converge. This took a while but very happy with how it turned out. Public full text view access here: https://t.co/LiwavzPKJz

[Igor Ulitsky @IgorUlitsky]

🆕 review with @jp_unfried out in @NatureSMB 🧐. Direct roles of lncRNAs in transcriptional activation. What do we understand about how lncRNAs lure Pol2 and set the stage for RNA production, and what do we still miss? https://t.co/iYJQ7Rbb9d

[Igor Ulitsky @IgorUlitsky]

Version of Record now out in @eLife
https://t.co/t07fws7VnC, after a great review process.
Mega project by the mighty @AlanMonziani . I thought we're done with EPB41L4A-AS1, but reading the proofs gave me some more appetite, so who knows?

[Detroit Tigers @tigers]

The Tigers have signed three-time American League Cy Young and nine-time All-Star RHP Justin Verlander to a one-year contract for the 2026 season.

Welcome home, JV!

[MLB @MLB]

JV is BACK in Detroit!

The Tigers sign RHP Justin Verlander to a 1-year deal.

@IgorUlitsky With 4 days, protocol like the 4C are never going to happen 🤣

[Alan Monziani @AlanMonziani]

@AnonymaticaSRL e chiunque può visitarlo. Ah, ha decine di milioni di euro sotto forma di finanziamenti europei, quindi a meno che tu non sia un evasore, anche tu hai contribuito.

Fonte: io che ci ho lavorato 5 anni e ci vivevo quando questo è successo.

@AnonymaticaSRL L'Istituto Weizmann è esclusivamente per ricerca civile, l'edificio maggiormente danneggiato si occupava di ricerca sul cancro, ed essendo uno dei maggiori centri di ricerca al mondo non è di certo difficile trovarne l'ubicazione, soprattutto perché è aperto al pubblico (1/n)

[Alan Monziani @AlanMonziani]

@IgorUlitsky I can't say it was boring, and likely one of the few instances in which a PhD student wants to keep working to keep sanity!

[Alan Monziani @AlanMonziani]

@IgorUlitsky @eLife Of course the email notification came out while sheltering

[Alan Monziani @AlanMonziani]

Last week's recap:

- Ballistic missile hit in the campus, causing extensive damage
- Relocated to a hotel, no idea of when/if able to return
- PhD frozen (with the thesis already submitted)
- Paper accepted
- Postdoc fellowship rejected

What a wild way to end

[Alan Monziani @AlanMonziani]

@IgorUlitsky Is that mine? 🙂

New preprint 📜 from @AlanMonziani in the lab – EPB41L4A-AS1 long noncoding RNA acts in both cis- and trans-acting transcriptional regulation and controls nucleolar biology https://t.co/vzzuUqCQOI . A🧵 1/n

[Weizmann Institute @WeizmannScience]

Once again, The Weizmann Institute of Science ranked among the world’s top ten academic institutions alongside institutions such as Princeton, Harvard, Stanford and MIT by the 2024 Leiden Ranking of research quality >> https://t.co/CQddjRfYIp @UniLeidenNews

[Joshua Mendell @Mendell_lab]

I am excited to share this story led by Yujing Cheng and Siwen Wang (not on X) in @CellCellPress which describes a new function for a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) in senescence and ribosome biogenesis. Read on for a brief 🧵1/

It's finally out! Very excited to see my first project finally come to light. Many thanks to all those people that contributed to it!

[Nicole Bettin @bettinnicole_]

It seems you have something new to read: https://t.co/aYvOiROFi3

Extraordinarily excited and proud to see this paper out!
Many thanks to this fantastic team made up of brilliant scientists @martaandolfato @IGialdini @GlendaGrupelli @elena_goretti

[Cusanelli Lab @LabCusanelli]

Happy to share our recent publication on #TERRA participating in #telomerase regulation at human #telomeres. https://t.co/ldnDgUXA2a. Great work from @Bettinnicole_ and coworkers in collaboration with Chartrand lab @UMontreal. @ScienceAdvances @AIRC_it @CIBIO_UniTrento @UniTrento

[Francesca Luca @fluca2406]

Really excited to share our new review paper on GxE! Team work with three graduate students: Carly Boye, Shreya Nirmalan, Ali Ranjbaran https://t.co/16GMjxQa9Z
