Following the excitement of many scientistsf for this new platform, I have decided to join as well.

Our lab is interested in #enhancers, #gene_regulation and #chromatin_architecture.

Looking forward to constructive and open scientific discussions.

I wish there will be more focused reviews like the one below:

Noncoding snoRNA host genes are a distinct subclass of long noncoding RNAs

And yes, I might keep here in #BlueSky my extremely nerdy #SciReadingClub #RNA #gene_regulation #EduSky
