I’m excited to share our latest study led by @GiuliaPasquesi out today in @CellPressNews , uncovering a new way transposons have been repurposed for human interferon signaling! Read on for a thread on cryptic splice variants, decoy receptors, and viruses (1/N) 👇🧵

All credit for this discovery goes to amazing postdoc @GiuliaPasquesi , who noticed the isoform in her 2020 Lockdown SideProject (tm) and drove this project start to finish. It was an honor to be a part of it. Look out for her--she's on the job market! 😉
