If you are about RNA-seq and alternative splicing and wondering whether to spend more money on long reads, this paper is extremely important. Longer is not always better. Long read experiment with a LOT of reads missed some splicing events. genome.cshlp.org/content/early/…

📣 A new study by the @guo_lab and @YaleMed's Dr. Paul Lee sheds light on how the use of alternative translation initiation sites 🧬 produces multiple synaptic protein isoforms with diverse localization and function! Read More Here 👇 medicine.yale.edu/news-article/n…

Delighted to share our paper on the selective degradation of aggregated tau. @benn_jojo and Shi Cheng used nanobodies against tau, and fused them to the catalytic RING domain of clustering-activated E3 ligase TRIM21 to create R-Nb science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Amazing discovery on the evolution of human pigmentation by retrotransposons! Turns out TEs not only helped us get rid of our tails (see 1st comment) but also adapt to different levels of sunlight exposure . nature.com/articles/s4158…😎

So proud of my lab for our latest work out today in @Naturepub We took advantage of transposable elements and CRISPR to perform targeted insertion of cargo DNA in the Arabidopsis and soy genomes. Led by @mcliupeng nature.com/articles/s4158…. 🧵

Excited to share a new line of work led by @Yale_INP student Paul Lee collaborating with @AlexaRSoares @MarinaP63, in which we found a translational switch regulating the dual identities of synaptic organizers‼️ @YaleNeuro @YalePsych @YaleRNA @KavliAtYale biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Proudly presenting our new findings on how #RNA binding proteins (RBPs) may increase the tolerance of genomes to transposable element (TE) insertions. If you want to know more read this thread or our story @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

So excited to share our story revealing structures, functions and adaptations of the human LINE-1 retrotransposon, an ancient genetic parasite that has written 1/3 of the human genome and is implicated in cancer, aging, & autoimmunity. Now out in @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our new paper is out! We used iPSC models and organoids, and delved into why transposons are aberrantly re-activated in Alzheimer's neurons. We find that aberrant AP-1 activity, due to c-JUN upregulation, underlies TE de-repression and mobilisation 1/n nature.com/articles/s4146…
