"Isoforms are important; how come we're not studying them?"
#AGTA2025 keynote @azizalkhafaji.bsky.social mentions that we are now at am I flection point, where 100s of millions of reads are produced per run.

The great Prof Vanessa Hayes, who sequenced the first African Genome, states "the closer we get to ancestral populations, the more diversity we see in genomes".

If we doubled the allocation of MRFF grants, the fund would break even after 10 years BUT there would be twice as many economic returns from biomedical research innovations, boosting GDP and Australia's highly skilled workforce.
As a reminder, the estimated long term ROI for MRFF grants is $4:$1

Given how stingy public research funding is overall, it's shocking that the #MRFF only spends 50% of what is allocated in the budget.
This funds highly impactful, translational research focused fund that can DIRECTLY address the economic burdens of the healthcare system + improved patient outcomes

Asking someone how they define a gene leads to really insightful answers (at least when they respond with something beyond a protein coding sequence), but there clearly is room for refinement.
A "unit of hereditary function" is my broad definition, with 'unit' and 'function' open to interpretation

So you would define a gene by its promoter and coding sequence?
What about overlapping isoforms with partial protein sequence and different promoter/TSS?
Conversely, what about a segmental duplication/paralog with identical RNA coding sequence but different promoters?

Another case for distinct genes: polycistrons in bacteria, kinetoplastidae, and mitochondria

Analogously, is a microRNA considered a different gene to it's pre-miRNA?
A case for the affirmative: snoRNAs are clearly annotated as distinct genes form their host transcripts, which are (often) intronic regions of mRNAs

Existential #RNAsky question for the weekend:
If two RNA products share the same promoter/TSS, but have different 5' ends (one is processed out of longer transcript) and are differentially expressed, are they different isoforms or distinct genes?

LLM chat bot generated requests for HDR supervision are so generic and obvious, it makes sifting through applications that much easier.
I'm concerned for new tenure track academics -- I hope they can sniff out these copy paste requests, maybe by using honeypots on university research profiles?
