Interesting. Full deletion of all introns in yeast was actually my project in the Staley lab, *20 years ago*. I actually found a bunch of phenotypes. We did this in collaboration with the Guthrie lab. www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

Many RNAs originally annotated as non-coding may encode proteins, with signals found across UTRs and overlapping known ORFs. Mike Clark shares how Oxford Nanopore enables this kind of transcript-level insight. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3SgUa19

pubScan has moved to a new domain: pubscan.org One major update behind the scenes: the publication database now uses OpenAlex ORCID-based author identities. Name disambiguation in scientific literature is surprisingly difficult. ORCID-linked identities make publication tracking more reliable.

The sauna at ETH Honggerberg is gone, so I wrote a little obituary about it. grexor.github.io/sts.html Save the sauna, or: how not to become a robot "Think about it: who wouldn’t want meaningful work, serious research, sport, rest, culture, art, science — and, in general, a good life?"
The biggest Oxford Nanopore sequencing event of the year is around the corner. Can’t make the event in person? Wherever you are in the world, you can be a part of a global conversation with our free virtual London Calling event. See what you’re missing: https://bit.ly/4bq6mSZ #Nanoporeconf

This was a fun effort from our lab retreat (!) to recreate a "arms-length" benchmark (i.e., one that someone else created) using our Omnibenchmark framework. We all learned a lot in the process ..

A new package, splicelogic, in Bioc 3.23 from lab member Bea Campillo @beamimc.bsky.social splicelogic allows users to find alternative splicing events after performing differential transcript usage (DTU) analysis. We're eager to have folks try this one out! thelovelab.github.io/splicelogic/
