Uncovering the structure-function relationship of a lncRNA critical for genomic stability —still much to learn, but a big step forward! Incredible collaboration with @FMorenoHerrero @OscarLlorcaCNIO @ChillonIsabel & supported by @FundlaCaixa.

One of the (well, >1) problems in the lncRNA field is that some of the lncRNAs are not real genes, i.e., do not represent a standalone locus that produces independent transcripts. Some cases are more 🤔 than others, e.g. lncDACH that Matt Bennet from @bakergroupcvs dove into 🧵

New from the lab: melanocytic lineage–specific #lncRNA interacts with the DDR machinery. Its loss in dedifferentiated #melanoma revealed that these cells repair damage better and are thus sensitive to #Olaparib! 💡 cell.com/iscience/pdf/S2589-…

🆕 review with @jp_unfried out in @NatureSMB 🧐. Direct roles of lncRNAs in transcriptional activation. What do we understand about how lncRNAs lure Pol2 and set the stage for RNA production, and what do we still miss? nature.com/articles/s41594-0…

🚀 Excited to share SMART-PTA (miniaturized Primary Template Amplification) a high-throughput single-cell whole-genome amplification method that preserves clonal lineage information while enabling deep genomic and transcriptomic profiling. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #SingleCell #WGS
Big, beautiful trees!! SMART-PTA for whole-genome+transcriptome on thousand of single cells from the normal human esophagus 🤯 Massively scaling up the power of scWGS to build deep phylogenies and chart somatic evolution from birth throughout life. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

So sorry I couldn’t make it. I’m sure it was an amazing meeting!
It’s been a privilege to be part of the 2025 #HealthResearchMeeting. Grateful to @CaixaResearch for supporting our work on uncovering the structural determinants of long non-coding RNAs involved in colorectal cancer development together with @LlorcaLab and @MaiteHuarteLab

🧬 Colorectal cancer is one of the most difficult to treat due to its resistance to therapies. To improve treatment efficacy, with #CaixaImpulse @LuisaStatello (@CIMA_unav) is developing a therapy targeting the RNA molecules involved in this resistance. 🎯 tinyurl.com/yj8dhnuh

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/ar…

Thanks for the invitation to such an inspiring meeting. Excited to join a community tackling the challenges of cancer through innovative science — looking forward to contributing.
A massive thank you to everyone at #CGCecDNA, especially our co-organisers @mischellab, Mariam Jamal-Hanjani and @HowardYChang, and all of our fantastic speakers! Together we’ll tackle the challenge of extrachromosomal DNA.

Es un orgullo apoyar el #TalentoInvestigador con nuestras Ayudas Proyectos Generales AECC 2024.👇 La Dra. @MaiteHuarteLab y su equipo han identificado un ARN que podría abrir nuevas líneas de investigación en cáncer y envejecimiento. Su trabajo, publicado en @CellReports, sugiere posibles mejoras en la respuesta a tratamientos como el cisplatino en el #CáncerdeOvario. ¡Enhorabuena a todo el equipo del @CIMA_unav ! 💚 #InvestigaciónOncológica #CienciaQueTransforma #ComunidadAECC #TalentoInvestigador
