Nuclear gene proximity and protein interactions shape transcript covariances in mammalian single cells
Our latest study on gene co-expression in single-cells just got published in Nature Communications! Subtle differences between virtually identical cells are actually footprints of gene regulation. Excitingly, miRNA targeting and nuclear proximity (both intra- and inter-chromosomal) induce gene co-expression! And even better, these single-cell covariations are predictive of function and regulation.
It was a great collaborative effort that got started as an investigation into alternative miRNA functions at the CRG in Barcelona in 2013 by João, Silvina, Diego, Luis and Marc. In 2015 Marcel and Sebastian took over and found exciting covariation patterns that could be traced back not only to miRNA but also transcriptional regulation. Big thanks to all authors and colleagues who contributed in small and big ways!

Kavan is moving on to do PhD at EMBL

Kavan, master thesis student in our lab, is embarking on an exciting journey to do his PhD at EMBL. He is starting his PhD studies later this month in the group of Olivier Duss, EMBL.
Mika and Kavan defended their Master projects
Mika and Kavan accomplished excellent work and defended their Master projects in the frame of the SciLifeLab Master’s programme in Molecular Techniques in Life Science (KI/KTH/SU). Our hearty congratulations to Mika and Kavan!
New group member on board
Starting in April, Laura Stanicek will join us as a postdoctoral fellow. She will be heading up the development of combined quantitative single cell proteomics and transcriptomics.
