Re: [Geuvadis_rna_analysis] Geuvadis RNAseq paper accepted in Nature

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 PS. Please note that my University of Geneva email address will not work for much longer (in case you didn't know, I'm spending this year at Stanford).
