I am looking for a post-doctoral research associate to join my group. It is an exciting project on promoter interactomes of cardiomyocytes derived from Noonan iPSCs. Please apply or forward to someone who may be interested. manmetjobs.mmu.ac.uk/jobs/va… jobs.ac.uk/job/DDO019/resear…

It was great to welcome back @MunKitChoy to @DCVS_UoM for a talk today about his new work at @ManMetUni! It seems he couldn’t stay away for too long! @KeavneyLab 😅

The lncRNA STX18-AS1 is expressed from a locus associated with ASD. Here, our post-doc Yingjuan has shown that it acts as a regulator of cardiac differentiation in hESCs by interacting with the MLL complex to promote H3K4 trimethylation of NKX2-5, a known ASD gene

A novel RNA-mediated mechanism causing down-regulation of insulating promoter interactions in human ESCs. One lncRNA expressed in hESCs, - Syntaxin 18-Antisense 1 aka STX18-AS1, - appears to be involved in an insulating interactions with neighboring MSX1. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
