📣 Attention #RNA #Splicing lovers! How is splicing of exons coordinated??🤔 ➡️ Exon Junction Complex (EJC) coordinates inclusion of blocks of neighboring exons!😯 Cool work by @A_Bergfort (Karla Neugebaur's lab) - check it out! (we got to help a bit 😊) https://t.co/iU9QfjO3Wz

There are - roughly speaking - two kinds of research labs: the artist colonies and the armies.

[Prof. Nikolai Slavov @slavov_n]

The heterogeneity of HeLa cell-lines undermines reproducibility.

HeLa cells were obtained without informed consent.

==> Researchers should avoid using HeLa cells unless required by a special justification.

Here comes the second one from @AlexandraBergf1 . This time also including the great support from Marco (@pre_mRCO) from the lab of Florian Heyd @FUBiochemistry . Happy to be part of this work 🥳

The first one of our joined efforts with @AlexandraBergf1 from Markus Wahl's lab at @FUBiochemistry is officially out. Our star🌟; Alexandra is now a postdoc at Yale and I hope we will have the chance to work together in the future again.

Should I go and check the results? I am not sure...
