Excited to share our work with Andy Chen, Katalin Danielne Sandor, Ansu Satpathy, and others on how inflammation-induced 3D genome conformation can integrate distinct inflammatory signals, and provide transcriptional memory in macrophages. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are happy to announce the release of the AbSplice scores track for the human genome, GRCh38/hg38. The scores represent the probability that a given variant causes aberrant splicing in a given tissue.

Another PW lab paper for you!

Here, in Cell Reports we report that SRSF7 is unique amongst SR proteins in its ability to activate antiviral immunity. It does so by directly activating transcription of IRF7, a master regulator of the type I IFN response.

1st Mid Winter Conference of Immunology for Samira and Valeriya!! Excellent presentations! Great job*

Great job by Christy 🧬 presenting on behalf of the lab at RNA club!

It was fun to write this with Nadya Dimitrova. We tried to summarize what we've learned about transcription-regulating lncRNAs, including “stabilizer” lncRNAs that work as TF gene rheostats, activating lncRNAs, and emerging roles of lncRNAs in disease rdcu.be/dwqrQ
