We have a new preprint describing the unexpected finding of a *sex-specific* function for the mighty Malat1 in T cells. Led by @GwynneMags and Katie West. https://t.co/22MetdLe3i

Beyond sex hormone and sex chromosome-driven mechanisms, little is known about cell intrinsic mediators of immune sexual dimorphism. We show that Malat1 is required for appropriate cytokine express...

This is actually amazing! Fascinating.
We are excited to introduce LoRNA-SH, a frontier RNA foundation model that leverages long-read transcriptomics and long-context inputs to learn and predict the transcriptome architecture with base-pair resolution:
