Discovery of HOTAIR, ROR, FIRRE and other lncRNAs
"A former professor of stem cell and regenerative biology at Harvard University, John Rinn recently became the Marvin H. Caruthers Endowed Chair for Early-Career Faculty at the BioFrontiers Institute at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he is also the Leslie Orgel Professor of RNA Science. While studying for his PhD in molecular biophysics and biochemistry at Yale University, John Rinn discovered that the human genome encoded numerous new RNA genes call long noncoding RNAs or large intervening non-coding RNAs (lincRNA)...or more commonly lncRNA"

As an expert in RNA and genome biology, John Rinn holds the title of Leslie Orgel Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder. John Rinn’s current research focuses on better understanding how the human genome is regulated. In 2016, while a Professor at Harvard University department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology he was selected by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) as an early career scientist for his research into a mysterious class of RNA genes called long noncoding RNAs (lncRNA). Professor Rinn was one of ten Harvard professors to receive the HHMI early career scientist award..."
