Dear all,
It is my great pleasure to tell you that the Geuvadis RNAseq paper has 
been accepted in Nature!
Needless to say, I'm extremely happy to finally be at this point, and to 
be able to thank all of you for your contributions. We wouldn't be here 
without the hard work from all of you, the huge pool of scientific 
expertise and insight, and the collaborative spirit that we've had in 
this project. Please pass my thanks also to technicians and other 
members of your lab who contributed to this work.
It was a really enjoyable experience to work with all of you, and I hope 
that this will inspire many other collaborations amongst us. I had a lot 
of fun and I hope you did too! But the most important thing is that I 
think we can all be proud of the outcome. It's a great paper and a great 
data set that make an important contribution to the field.
We're now going through some final formatting edits, and we'll be in 
touch about press releases, publication and embargo dates, etc. when we 
know more. Feel free to share the news with close colleagues, but please 
don't advertise this yet in the public domain such as social media. The 
companions papers are in a good shape too: we're waiting for the final 
confirmation of the acceptance of the QC paper in Nature Biotechnology 
so more good news will follow, and the splicing paper is under review in 
Genome Research.
best regards,
Tuuli
