Delighted to be honored by the King Faisal Prize. I am deeply grateful for all my mentors, collaborators, supporters, and especially lab members former and present.
X chromosome silencing by viral mimicry! Xist lncRNA pretends to be a virus to get the female cell to shut down the second X chromosome. Great work by Ava Carter, Jin Xu

Single-cell lineage tracing by endogenous mutations enriched in transposase accessible mitochondrial DNA . Delighted that our work with the Majeti lab is published!
Cancer genes beyond chromosomes--delighted to contribute to this new study. Great teamwork with Paul Mischel, Roel Verhaak, Vineet Bafna, and Bing Ren.
Along with 23 pairs of chromosomes, some of our cells have mysterious circles of DNA. Here’s my

story on their emergence—and how they may accelerate cancer.

Our new paper is online at Nature! Tumor-suppressor genes are often inactivated through changes in mRNA processing that enable expression of truncated proteins. This mechanism of inactivation does not require DNA mutations in the affected genes.
"After arriving at CSHL in the late 1980s, Martienssen had the thrill of working at Dr. McClintock’s side. His early research actually confirmed and extended McClintock’s…"
And now, his work is being celebrated with the most fitting of awards!🏅🎉
Postdoc
@raflynn5
and I are keen for feedback on preprint posted
@biorxivpreprint
. He made the shocking discovery that Y RNAs + other small RNAs are modified in the secretory pathway with N-glycans. Thus begins the new world of “glycoRNA”.
