Marvellous artefact that formed part of the front of a canoe. Made of wood, the crocodile eyes are represented by fine china cups. Seen at the Museum of Anthropology in Cambridge. #happysaturday
Ecstatic to see our paper "Long-read RNA sequencing atlas of human microglia isoforms elucidates disease-associated genetic regulation of splicing" now published in @naturegenet.bsky.social with @trajnp.bsky.social and @panosroussos.bsky.social @sinaibrain.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Long-read RNA sequencing atlas of human microglia isoforms elucidates disease-associated genetic regulation of splicing - Nature Genetics
This isoform-centric microglia genomic atlas includes 35,879 novel human microglia isoforms identified by long-read RNA sequencing. A multi-ancestry quantitative trait locus meta-analysis of known and...

Extraordinary man. If you can, donate blood 🩸 it takes 30 mins and saves lives 🙏🏻
Trish Greenhalgh@trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social · last yr.The most extraordinary thing about James Harrison, who donated his rare plasma every 2 weeks for over 60 years and saved the lives of an estimated 2.4 million babies, is that he had to overcome a FEAR OF NEEDLES. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Thrilled to see our Perspective on long-read transcriptomics Published in Advance in @genomeresearch.bsky.social, with #AdamFrankish and @carolinamonzo.bsky.social. We discuss the opportunities and challenges of LRS to uncover Transcript Divergence and for Genome Annotation. tinyurl.com/bdeteu4j
This was so powerful - few of us can imagine the reality of having a family devastated by familial FTD - and the response of Jordan/Cian to their own risk is incredibly inspiring. Find them in instagram/TikTok as the FTD Brothers and follow their story…!
Yesterday’s Cambridge RNA Club was a blast! Despite a small crowd, we had great science, lively discussions and, of course… pizza! Quality over quantity, right? Huge thanks to @vanessaloi.bsky.social @soniagr.bsky.social & sponsors for making it a fantastic session! See you at the next one!
🎤 Excited to learn how RNA splicing is linked to Alzheimer’s? @soniagr.bsky.social (UK Dementia Research Institute) will unveil insights from single-nucleus RNA-seq at the Cambridge RNA Club! Join us for cutting-edge science & stay for networking 🍕on 20th Feb at 17h in @cambiochem.bsky.social
📢 Reminder! This Thursday at 17:00, join us for an exciting session of Cambridge RNA Club with @soniagr.bsky.social and @vanessaloi.bsky.social 📍 Sanger building @CamBiochem 🍕 Networking after with pizza, snacks & drinks! Sponsored by @rnasociety.bsky.social , Lexogen, NEB & 2BScientific
It is really cold out there! I would rather prefer to stay warm and cozy at home. Happy #caturday folks!
The magnificent Magna Carta, a royal charter of rights agreed to by King John of England on 15 June 1215. It limited the rights of the King by declaring him to be subject to the rule of law. It provided the foundation for individual rights. On display at the British Library #magnacarta
Precioso reportaje sobre el mural que la pintora Clara Gomez Campos me ha pintado en mi barrio, Benimaclet. disfrutabenimaclet.com/2025/01/27/e...
El mural que homenajea a la investigadora Ana Conesa en Benimaclet
La investigadora Ana Conesa ya tiene en su barrio, Benimaclet, un mural que la homenajea. Lo ha creado Clara Gómez dentro del proyecto ‘Dones de ciència’.

New in @naturecomms.bsky.social: I'm thrilled to share with you our latest work that applies #srRNAseq to understand splicing accuracy across human introns, tissues and in the context of ageing and neurodegeneration www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Splicing accuracy varies across human introns, tissues, age and disease - Nature Communications
Inaccuracies in RNA splicing may play a significant role in aging and disease. Here, the authors present a comprehensive characterization of splicing accuracy across over 14,000 human samples, offerin...

#dinkydoors Miniature sculpture (with doors), lovingly made and hidden just out of plain sight around Cambridge. This one can be seen in Downing Street Cambridge, which mimicks the real and famous one in London. There are many of them, and they represent cute petite portals into other worlds :)
I can not comprehend the size and scale of the observable universe: roughly 2 trillion galaxies, ~400 billion stars per galaxy (considering the size of the Milky Way). This is just the piece we can observe given the speed of light (it takes over 100,000 years to cross our galaxy! 🤯
Great symposium today with The British Neuroscience Association🧠and hosted by AstraZeneca @astrazeneca.bsky.social at The Discovery Centre. Amazing talks and speakers, with engaging panel discussion in the 'quest for new medicines to slow the progression of disability in neurodegenerative disorders'

Amazed by evolution and the creatures that preceded us, this one is called Megaloceros giganteus (aka 'Giant Irish Elk'), although they were not elk but deer and not specifically Irish either as their fossil remains have been found in EU and Asia 🤷♀️ but surely giantic (their antlers were 10ft wide!)🫣
