How do enhancers work over distances that sometimes exceed megabases? Excited to share our work led by Grace Bower where we uncover a unique sequence signature globally associated with long-range enhancer-promoter interactions in developing limb buds: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/

Long but totally worth it:

Here is the response that Dina Roubina, a Russian and Israeli writer, sent to the Pushkin House in London, inviting her to a conference but first asking her to clarify her position on Israel.

Dear friends and colleagues

Recently, the Pushkin House in

We are incredibly excited to have our first LncRNA screening paper published today in pnas . This project has been a labor of love for over 8years!! LncRNAs are tricky to tease apart mechanistically! Here we provide a resource of LncRNAs involved in macrophage differentiation

Biologists (non-weizmann)! Does you grad program have rotations? How long are they? Please reply with more info / yr uni name. And please RT.

It's very hard to imagine a better meeting venue ⛵️. And regardless, it was a super insightful meeting!

Final Program for the 5th Aegean Conferences on 'The Long and the Short of Non-Coding RNAs' is now posted! 28 established investigators and 10+ truly outstanding trainees. New this year: Breaking News talks by 8 mid-career investigators. Help spread the word! aegeanconferences.org/src/App/sessio…

Sarab Abu-Rabia, The Fuchs lab, Garry Kasparov, Israel Makov, Larry Marks, and Dr. Gladys Monroy are the six recipients of honorary Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the Weizmann Institute of Science for 2023, bestowed upon them in recognition of their extraordinary contributions to

Just landed in Fort Lauderdale, making FL the 25th US state I have ever been to. Given my travel is mostly conference-driven, the next 25, or even the next 5, will take a while. WI? NV?

What does the RNA binding surface of PRC2 actually do?

We show that part of the RNA binding surface is required for PRC2 function through interactions with nucleosomes, but we find no evidence that RNA is in play.

What makes the Weizmann Institute one of the top ten research institutions in the world? Join us for our Life Sciences PhD Open Day on 21 May: meet our scientists and students, visit our cutting-edge labs and discover how we are shaping the future >> bit.ly/lsphdwis

At conferences, if somebody shows impressive results 'but sorry, I can't tell you which gene it is', I make a point of standing up and noisily leaving the room. Scientific communication is NOT the same as advertisement. Don't conflate the two.

This is all Israelis tonight #Vote6

I don’t get it-boycotting Israeli academic institutions is the last thing to do if you care about peace and freedom of speech! Academia is the last fortress to fall when democracies are destroyed! We (academics) have been fighting our government for months-how does boicot help?

I hate it that this competition puts me head-to-head with Lovorka Stojic

I am delighted to share the newest work from the Sternberg Lab, in which we discover RNA-templated gene creation as a mechanism of antiviral immunity. This is a story for anyone who loves molecular biology, and one that repeatedly left us in disbelief. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
