Our preprint on how variant U1 snRNAs control transcriptional and splicing homeostasis of hiPSCs is now officially out in @natcomms.nature.com and accessible via this link:

Stem cell identity and differentiation require precise gene regulation, yet key regulatory components remain poorly understood. Here, the authors show that variant U1 snRNAs have distinct and essentia...

In our latest preprinted work, Yajie and Kostas combine computational analysis with precision KO of single variant U1 snRNA genes in human iPSCs to find pronounced deregulation of both gene expression and splicing that seem to affect the cell cycle and the differentiation potency of stem cells. 1/n
