📢 Paper Alert: tinyurl.com/yzy2d864. We characterized tRNA-overlapping lncRNA loci = tROLs! tROL perturbations silence
codon-biased genes in inter-chromosomal proximity. tROLs bridge the non-coding
and coding genomes. @sickkidsto.bsky.social @uoftpress.bsky.social

tRNA-overlapping long non-coding RNA loci repress codon-biased genes

Ahmed et al. define tRNA-overlapping lncRNAs (tROLs). tROLs in gene-dense regions interact between chromosomes and depend on each other’s transcription. tROL perturbations silence codon-biased genes i...

Finally, the Maass lab is on #Bluesky and seeks science skeets and news! More on lncRNAs and trans-chromosomal contacts (kissing chromosomes / non-homologous chromosomal contacts [NHCCs] soon. Refreshing some older news: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Inter-chromosomal contacts demarcate genome topology along a spatial gradient - Nature Communications

The authors develop a supervised and unsupervised learning algorithm Signature. Machine learning and network model analysis of Hi-C datasets across 62 2n genomes suggest that inter-chromosomal contact...
