Charting larvacean (aka appendicularian) genomes since 2007. My favourite polymer is RNA. Currently obsessed with non-canonical splicing.

Deployment of non-canonical splicing in tunicate genomes is mediated by divergent U2AF function and re-patterning of snRNA m6A modification In eukaryotes, splicing is a critical step of gene expression that produces transcripts competent for protein synthesis by removing introns from pre-mRNA. The spliceosome defines target splice sites b...

I am happy to share our last results, posted on bioRxiv. Unlike other eukaryotes, the spliceosome of marine animals called larvaceans can process an insane diversity of splice sites. We explain how in this preprint:
