An RNA lab in Santa Cruz, working on splicing and the spliceosome, asking how splicing capacity is allocated to the primary transcriptome, and how intron gain affects genome evolution.

The artist quoted you also; seems believable. In my head I can hear you saying this. The Nucleosome Police are now living in all of our heads rent free. πŸ˜‚

It is important to understand this as an intentional goal of the attack on civilian science πŸ§ͺ

And science professors are making a choice right now about whether we will be clear with our students about ethics

Using "in extracto cryo-EM", we visualize ribosomes in mammalian lysates, including RRL. "Hibernating" ribosomes carry an extended set of proteins that protect functional centers. These include elongation factor eEF2, LARP1 implicated in mTOR signaling, eIF5A etc. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Beyond Active learning How not to be a passive instructor in an active classroom.

Active learning can take many forms, but all require students to actively participate rather than passively absorb content. Typically, this involves structured activities such as group work, guided worksheets, think-pair-share, gallery walks, and jigsaw activities.

An ancient competition for the conserved branchpoint sequence influences physiological and evolutionary outcomes in splicing

Shout out to former labbie Sam Fagg now Asst Prof at UT Galveston on his lab's publication in Elife - the branch point consensus sequence bound by SF1 is ~same as the QKI recognition site. WUT? Turns out the two proteins been fighting for years!
