A long sought after hypothesis has been that organizing biomolecules in and around nuclear bodies is essential for functional RNA processing. We now provide direct evidence of this in @Nature for nuclear speckles and mRNA splicing. Check out this thread!

What are the functional roles of 3D genome organization? Our paper in @Nature led by @_prashantbhat demonstrates how dynamic 3D genome organization around nuclear speckles plays a crucial role in regulating mRNA splicing efficiency. rdcu.be/dHkez

1st yr college (4/2011) Dr. Ambros visited Berkeley. His Cell 1993 paper was the 1st biology paper I ever read. After the talk, I asked for a picture; he looked around him when the organizer clarified, "Victor, he is asking to take a picture *with* YOU!" 🥲 Congrats, Victor!🧬

In our new pre-print, we demonstrate that 3D genome organization around nuclear speckles controls the efficiency of mRNA splicing. Check out my thesis work @Caltech in this thread by @mitchguttman! @4DNucleome #Genomics

It was fun to present at my first @RNASociety meeting in Edinburgh! Thanks to the organizers for a great meeting and the audience for the engaging questions! #RNA24 Want to chat about speckles and splicing in different cellular contexts, including disease processes? DM me!

Our review is out in @NatRevMCB! Together with Drew Honson and @mitchguttman @Caltech we review how nuclear compartmentalization may explain many aspects of gene regulation within biomolecular condensates
