interested in understanding non-coding conservation and genome evolution? I have a PhD position in my group looking at the evolution of regulatory domains in annelids ... www.swbio.ac.uk/files/2025/1... .... 100% computational biology PhD ... e-mail me if you're interested / want to discuss further
give me aircon or give me death!
knock, knock "hi georgina, could you help me to ..... " :P
Bach1 is regulated by superenhancer that is regulated by the ATF4:p52 complex, which promotes cell cycle progression in multiple myeloma cells.
Really happy to have been involved in this study. Congrats to Yinghui and her team at NTU!
Congrats to Daniel Aron Ang - another great piece of work from his PhD. In this study, he identified that the non-canonical NF-kB factor, p52, can interact with ATF4 to activate oncogenic enhancers through p300/CBP recruitment.

A wonderful reminder that my time spent comparing all the ecDNAs in organoids from the @RFitzgerald_lab added new insight to how we can use tumour organoids as a model to study ecDNA.

.... this implies that b-catenin independent signalling only plays a minor role (transcriptionally?) in Wnt-addicted PDAC and that their might be a regulatory grammar that determines whether a Wnt target gene is activated or repressed in response to pathway activation
Two key findings ....
1. In HPAF-II (RNF43 mutant pancreatic cancer) only 10% of genes are b-catenin independent
2. A subset of the Wnt-repressed genes is enriched for the NRE motif (as described Kim et al) and we subsequently test its function repressing a lncRNA and modulating AXIN2 expression
New preprint describing and testing a potential mechanism for how Wnt signalling represses target gene expression ..

Aaron Swartz was surveilled, stopped, indicted and driven to suicide for downloading academic papers to liberate knowledge.
Yet, while the jury is out, model providers must be considered in good faith as they still appropriate copyrighted content for a profit.
Selective application masterpiece.

I currently have a PhD position open through SWBIO DTP to design statistical methods to identify and test for differences between RNA secondary structure using HTS data - bpb-eu-w2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.bristo... ... let me know if it sounds interesting and we can chat. Deadline - Midnight, Wed 11 Dec.
