Genome annotations are often missing 3'-UTRs of the genes. This means that during scRNA-seq quantification, these genes are either miss some counts or not counted at all!

Thrilled to see our latest work on ctenophore reverse development featured on the cover of @PNASNews 🤩 Work supported by @MSarsCentre, @UiB, @ERC_Research #ctenophores #evolution #rejuvenation👏👏👏@JoanJSoto & stunning📸from @Alexandre4_Jan pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…

Super excited to finally post about our RNA foundation model, led by our very own Ali Saberi (not on Twitter), with @genophoria , @AminMEmad , and @vram142. LoRNA-SH is splice-aware, takes as input the entire pre-mRNA, and models isoform diversity biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/n

A 1,000,000th reminder the crucial importance of basic research. Ambros and Ruvkun were looking into understanding nematode genetics and development, not looking for a drug, and ended up opening an entire new area in biology

They WHAT?!
Our latest paper is out @CurrentBiology ! About #ctenophore fusion!! Fused ctenos synchronized muscle contractions and shared their digestive canal! @AnttonenTommi @maruca221 @omasvc @grassfoundation @MBLScience

My fav from a reviewer 4: What do miRNAs really do?One may recall the inordinate amount of space in journals devoted to miRNAs in the first decade of this century.What have we got?The latest miRNA lit has now become a trash pile in 3rd rate journals (not this one, obviously).»

Our short report on a remarkable feature of #ctenophores out now: Reverse development in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis. We show that Mnemiopsis is capable of reversal from mature lobate to early cydippid🤩. @MSarsCentre @UiB @biorxivpreprint #rejuvenation biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

For those interested in the EvoDevo of spiralians, including brachiopods, bryozoans, and annelids, check out our lab's trilogy on their evolution. These projects were led by our amazing @Tom_Lewin. 1. doi.org/10.1101/2024.02.15.5… 2. doi.org/10.1101/2024.05.15.5… 3. doi.org/10.1101/2024.05.28.5…

A series of video recordings from cameras inside the Ukrainian home improving store, at the moment of russia’s strike. Lots of civilian people walking around the store on the weekday. Russia’s terrorism cannot be happening for a third year in a row, Ukraine critically needs the right and permission to hit military targets on Russia’s territory using ally-supplied weaponry to prevent even more casualties amongst innocent civilians.

Excited to share our recent work on annelid comparative genomics, led by @Tom_Lewin. Using @darwintreelife data, we assembled a dataset of 23 genomes and discovered lineage-specific chromosome scrambling. 1/3 doi.org/10.1101/2024.05.15.5…
