@lquintanamurci.bsky.social ‘s new book ‘Human Peoples’ on human evolutionary genetics gets written up by @sciencespinning.bsky.social in @irishtimes.bsky.social

Transposable element exonization generates a reservoir of evolving and functional protein isoforms Transposable element exonization by unannotated splicing events produces stable protein isoforms with acquired functions that are subject to evolutionary selection.

Not easy to describe the emotions of seeing our work published in @cellpress.bsky.social ! We explored how novel isoforms emerge during evolution through the exonization of Transposable Elements. Exonized TEs modify the functions and structures of host proteins.

All is bad since Macron dissolved the assembly. Now if the objection happens Macron can (most likely) create a new government (again!) or presents his resignation (unlikely). He cannot dissolve the assembly again until next June.
