If you wonder what splice isoforms exist for your gene(s) of interest, or if you are interested in exploring tissue/cancer-specific splicing, we have a new tool for that.

@felicia_m c'est terrible, après 13 ans de vie en anglais, je ne me suis même pas arrêté pour y penser. Merci de le souligner.
En même temps, si les étudiants pouvaient effectivement arriver avec leur propre graduation, ça pourrait servir dans le labo...
Nouveau labo!
Je cherche des étudiant(e)s aux cycles supérieurs voulant travailler dans le domaine de l'épissage de l'ARN en #cancer et #immunologie.
New lab!
I'm looking for grad students interested in #RNAsplicing in #cancer and #immunology
Nous examinons les variations de l’ARN pour trouver de nouveaux traitments contre le cancer Notre labo utilise des données de séquençage à haut débit et des validations expérimentales pour trouver des variations de l’ARN impliquées dans le développement de tissus normaux et des cancers. En étudiant les variations d’épissage de l’ARN, il est possible de découvrir des signatures moléculaires ignorées par d’autres approches. Au cours des dernières années, l’analyse du transcriptome a permis d’apporter une lumière nouvelle sur des questions fondamentales dans les domaines des troubles du spectre de l’autisme et du cancer.
Climate Scientists Leave Twitter For Mastodon
So, it is possible for a group to make the collective decision to leave Twitter. Scientists "suffering insults and mass-spam are abandoning Twitter," and setting up shop on Mastodon.
Climate scientists flee Twitter as hostility surges >>> https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20230524-climate-scientists-flee-twitter-as-hostility-surges
"Glaciologist @Ruth_Mottram had more than 10,000 followers on Twitter but left in February and joined an alternative scientists' forum powered by Mastodon."

City of #Ljubljana in #Slovenia, population 280,000, kicked cars out in 2007.
Since then, car use has dropped by 32%, black carbon emissions are down 70%, noise pollution is down by 6 decibels.
Unfortunately, going car-free has made the center a living hell, as this video shows:

This week, Science published a stunningly irresponsible news story entitled "Fake scientific papers are alarmingly common" and claiming that upward of 30% of the scientific literature is fake.
https://www.science.org/content/article/fake-scientific-papers-are-alarmingly-common
Below, the first two paragraphs of the story.
Headline and intro notwithstanding, the story itself later notes that the detector doesn't actually work and flags nearly half of real papers as fake. Does the reporter just not understand that?

Wow!
looks like super awesome method from Long Cai lab
"High-resolution spatial multi-omics reveals cell-type specific nuclear compartments"
They did mRNA #seqFISH+ (1200 genes, 17K introns), DNA seqFISH+ (100K loci) and #immunofluorescence (up to 65 antibodies) all in the same experiment!
200+ rounds of #imaging! That's incredible.

Interested in riboswitches? The recording for our latest journal club is now available: https://youtu.be/d9TXI2tm5SI
Other topics ranging from RNA localization, stress granules, poly(A) and more are also available: https://irnacosi.org/journal-club/
I support the early career scientists in Canada who are walking out today to ask for their first pay raise in 20 years.
The federal government's track record in science has been on of neglect, and it's time to change that.
