Does RNA inhibit PRC2? This new preprint says yes, but it depends on the sequence! Love following the ever-evolving PRC2–RNA saga. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Epigenetics in action 🌱 We show natural gene body DNA methylation polymorphisms in Arabidopsis shape gene expression and traits, and are linked with native environments - revealing epigenetic variation as a driver of adaptation and evolution. nature.com/articles/s4147…

Longdust, a new tool to identify highly repetitive STRs, VNTRs, satellite DNA and other low-complexity regions (LCRs). Similar to SDUST but for long regions. github.com/lh3/longdust


I’m missing out on the amazing science at #Botany2025, but super happy that my student @meganradler is giving her first talk! July 29, 9 AM PDT “Dynamic DNA (de)methylation underpins parasitic #Cuscuta-host plant communication” If you are attending, don’t miss Megan’s talk!

Many proteins bind RNA, yet we still don’t know what RNAs most bind because methods map one RBP at a time. In @CellCellPress, with the Jovanovic lab, we describe SPIDR – a method for mapping the RNA binding sites of dozens of RBPs in a single experiment. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
