New review: Unleashing XIST from X-chromosome inactivation
The discovery that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are the most abundant gene class in the human genome has sparked significant research, particularly on Xist, a key RNA involved in X-chromosome inactivation. Recent studies have expanded our understanding of Xist's...
Congratulations to Emmanuelle !
Last week, Emmanuelle Ceddaha, one of our PhD student, defended her pharmacy thesis. It was a great presentation which not only earned her the congratulations of the jury, but also the distinction of ‘very good’ (and the unofficial distinction of ‘excellent’) for her...
