🚨 New preprint from our labs (STOP lab @stoplab.bsky.social & Nojima lab @pol2rna.bsky.social @pyrolyn.bsky.social)! We've been digging into how chromatin remodeler SETD2 controls the start and end of transcription 👇 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... (1/5)

Honored to receive an award from @polskaakademianauk.bsky.social in Poznań for the best 2024 publication led by a PhD student. Our study published in @narjournal.bsky.social highlights a key marker defining gene ends — helping improve genome annotations.

In our new paper in Nucleic Acids Research we argue that phosphorylation on threonine 4 of RNA Pol II CTD is a marker of transcription termination in animals... 🧵
