Genome-wide allele-specific expression in multi-tissue samples from healthy male baboons reveals the transcriptional complexity of mammals Knowing which parental allele is preferentially expressed or suppressed in our genome has profound implications. Using tissues from healthy, young baboons, Ramasamy et al. found widespread allele-spec...

Allele-specific expression (ASE) is a widespread mechanism in primates. Understanding ASE across genes and tissues will advance our knowledge of its influence on disease risk and identify causative variants. Happy to have contributed a little to this important work.

Light modulates glucose and lipid homeostasis via the sympathetic nervous system Light exerts circadian-independent effects on glucose and lipid metabolism.

Light can influence metabolism independent of the circadian clock, according to a new #ScienceAdvances study in mice.

There are not many oysters in #Puglia, but there are the fasolari (Callista chione), and that's something.

Non-image-forming photoreceptors improve visual orientation selectivity and image perception Using two-photon and multi-channel recordings from mouse primary visual cortex V1, Shi, Zhang, et al. demonstrate that intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells improve V1 orientation selectivity by differentially modulating excitatory and inhibitory neurons. This modulation by ipRGCs ultimately improves orientation discrimination in both mice and humans.

And another role for #ipRGCs, the photoreceptors mainly responsible for non-visual responses to #light such as circadian clock resetting and regulation of alertness and mood, enhancing orientation selectivity in mouse visual cortex.
