My first year #BIOL131 and #BIOL131Z kiddywinks (274 of them!) have their Examination right now. Thus I am in Expectant Father Mode, checking the electronic results live and watching them as they go. The first ones usually finish in 20 mins (36 MCQ questions) and very few use the whole 1h30.

That’s sad news. Oddly enough I found myself thinking “I’ve not heard anything about him in a while” the other day. Enjoyed him in the not-well-liked “To Die For” (aka “Heaven’s a Drag”) in 1994.

Had to stop marking coursework for a bit as I’m going steadily insane and babbling away to myself by way of stimming and it’s probably annoying the limbs off of my nearby Esteemed Colleagues

I’ve been saying this for 20 years: proteins being made rapidly at high levels seldom have a standing pool of detectable mRNA. We’ve known this since the 1980s but transcriptomics
and even RT-qPCR have always ignored it.
Hard message for ‘the RNAseq crowd’ as proteomics is more difficult (and expensive?), also requiring different facilities and skill sets in the lab
5,562 proteins were found to have tissue-specific enrichment across 32 human tissues.

The majority of them (3,088) are enriched at the protein but not RNA level.

The brain hosts the largest number of proteins that are only enriched at the protein level but not RNA level.

Starting to migrate from Instagram - having fled there from Twitter - looking for an oasis of sense in this ever hostile world… ☹️
