Introvert&Queer. Postdoc at MGH/HMS. Passionate about the biochemistry that governs epigenetic events! I love gothic and symphonic metal music and deep talking.

Congrats to Carlos Rivera @criveraal, Hungoo Lee, et al., on an outstanding collaboration with the Andres Group! RCOR1/HDAC represses active genes by (1) erasing histone modifications and (2) de-acetylating POL-II's CTD to inhibit elongation.

Es IMPRESIONANTE como este farsante intentaba eludir por enésima vez la pregunta sobre las 40 horas, apelando a que se acabó el tiempo.

José Antonio Kast sí dijo “1.200.000 personas que mueren al año”
Y después dijo que no dijo eso. kast es el rey de la mentira

Kast dice que garantiza el respeto a todas las personas, cuando le preguntan sobre la comunidad LGBTIQ+. Eso no lo pensaba cuando nos llamaba "dictadura" #DebateAnatel2025

New article! The RNA-protein interaction has been thoroughly discussed in the last months. Is it specific or promiscuous? Here I share our review in Nature Reviews Mol Cell Biology with Jeannie Lee @XistHarvard and colleagues

Our revised manuscript explains how Guo et al. concluded PRC2 is not an RNA binding protein. They retained unmappable reads, selectively removed read duplicates from the mappable fraction, and applied an arbitrary cutoff for PRC2 enrichment in RNA.

A surprising discovery by @bujisic_bojan et al: The RNA component (7SL) of SRP regulates a global response to stress — controlling both transcription and translation. 7SL RNA is not just for ER translocation! Read about the findings here:

Un postdoc NO es investigador indep mientras no tenga su propio laboratorio- y ojalá Tenure en una universidad. Obviamente el postdoc es una etapa de creatividad y las becas que uno se gana son ideas propias, pero uno sigue en formación. Solo para ser rigurosos.

An absolutely bonkers stat from this Nature article on Nobel Prize winners.
"702 out of 736 researchers who have won science and economics prizes up to 2023 are part of the same academic family"

Re-analysis of CLAP data affirms PRC2 as an RNA binding protein and XIST RNA as a target.
We (YongWoo Lee, Roy Blum, Michael Rosenberg) examined the datasets of Guo et al. (PMID 38387462 - which reported that PRC2 is not an RBP) ...

My dearest friend @HungooLee @HungooLeeLab is about to open his wonderful lab!!!! So proud of you, man!!!!
And guess what, HE IS RECRUITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If interested, please reach out to him!
