An RNA lab in Santa Cruz, working on splicing and the spliceosome, asking how splicing capacity is allocated to the primary transcriptome, and how intron gain affects genome evolution.

Shout out to former labbie Sam Fagg now Asst Prof at UT Galveston on his lab's publication in Elife - the branch point consensus sequence bound by SF1 is ~same as the QKI recognition site. WUT? Turns out the two proteins been fighting for years!

Time for a 🧵 on our new paper from the Walkley lab in @scienceimmuno.bsky.social.

If you're into RNA editing by ADARs, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) sensing, post-transcriptional gene regulation and CRISPR screening, then read on! 1/X

GGNBP2 regulates MDA5 sensing triggered by self double-stranded RNA following loss of ADAR1 editing
GGNBP2, CNOT10, and CNOT11 are required for innate immune response after the loss of ADAR1-mediated editing of self dsRNA.

Active learning can take many forms, but all require students to actively participate rather than passively absorb content. Typically, this involves structured activities such as group work, guided worksheets, think-pair-share, gallery walks, and jigsaw activities.

Who am I if I’m not a #DevelopmentalBiologist? A (long) thread. Today on my re-introduction to BlueSky, I would like to tell you how I got here. I am a #FirstGen college attendee and graduate. I was raised in a single-parent household. We struggled financially when I was growing up. 1/
