De novo annotation reveals transcriptomic complexity across the hexaploid wheat pan-genome - Nature Communications Available wheat genomes are annotated by projecting Chinese Spring gene models across the new assemblies. Here, the authors generate de novo gene annotations for the 9 wheat genomes, identify core and dispensable transcriptome, and reveal conservation and divergence of gene expression balance across homoeologous subgenomes.

Our pan-gtranscriptome analysis delivers a detailed roadmap for gene expression and regulation promising to fuel innovations in crop improvement to face climate challenges.

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that can slow its progression and transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC.

Excellent example of the great nucleic acids research at UCL.

75% slowing of clinical progression of Huntington's disease using gene-silencing technology.

Great science with massive impact on patients from Prof Sarah Tabrizi and team 👏

Efficient sequence alignment against millions of prokaryotic genomes with LexicMap - Nature Biotechnology LexicMap uses a fixed set of probes to efficiently query gene sequences for fast and low-memory alignment.

Sometimes you meet absolutely incredible bioinfo-magicians.
It was a huge privilege when @shenwei356.bsky.social
joined our group for a year on an @embl.org sabbatical.
While here, he developed a new way of aligning to
millions of bacteria, called LexicMap 1/n

Our paper on VEL-dependent polymerization is featured on the cover of this month's issue of @cp-molcell.bsky.social 🎉 The cover art was created by my talented friend Awesta - the result of hours of brainstorming together over video. Great fun teaming up for this!

NEWS - Shining new light on the processes that switch off genes

In new research which appears in Molecular Cell @cellpress.bsky.social, Dean group researchers have used Arabidopsis thaliana to investigate the functional role of polymerization in epigenetic silencing.
