Yesterday, the FunGen lab was present @ the Marguerite-Marie Delacroix's Conference on "Current Directions in Autism Research and NDDs". Nore Van Loon rocked her poster presentation concerning organoids & Eva D'haene gave an excellent talk on @colombolara_ her 3D genome research.

How does chromatin fold in different species? Is there an ubiquitous mechanism of chromatin folding in all species? We review published data to investigate the "Evolution and function of chromatin domains across the tree of life". rdcu.be/d1CxC

A thread on some of the fascinating noncoding genetic discoveries from 2024. I've written long form posts and discussed on The Genetics Podcast about these stories. I'll share links to all below with a brief summary.

The new year has just begun and we already have novel RNU breakthroughs to share, this time in the eye genetics field: De novo and inherited dominant variants in U4 and U6 snRNAs cause retinitis pigmentosa medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
