Retweets of alternative splicing tweets. Fell free to tag @SplicingNews if you want some splicing-related content to be retweeted. Acoount managed by @m1quelag.
Finally out https://t.co/NwSmunseCb the study (led by @xsalvatella1 & @RMendezLab) with the biophysical explanation for the profound effect of the microexon of CPEB4 as cause of autism, that we previously reported back in 2018

Congratulations to Rachel Shoemaker, second-year MTB student in Dr. Dung-Fang Lee’s lab, on being awarded a CPRIT-funded BIG-TCR predoctoral fellowship! Rachel’s work is focused on p53-dysregulated alternative splicing in osteosarcoma.
Besides transcription repression, alternative functions have been described to of #MeCP2 including transcriptional activation, #microRNA processing, #chromatin architecture and alternative splicing https://t.co/VLetZDUdIC

Pigini #ASHG24 Narrowed further with those vars involved in neurological disorders, 529 pathogenic variants, 345 poison exons. Selected genes for targeted validation (about 14). Uses Prime editing, validating variant effect on poison exon splicing.
Paolo Pigini (Mass Gen Hosp MA) #ASHG24 Defining the landscape of poison exon splicing events in the human brain: implications for neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders
Sangermano #ASHG24 Shows diagram of exon inclusion events (GFP neg), and exon skipping events with GPF pos pools. HTSA = high throughput skipping assay. For 3' or 5' splicing errors, ref seq and var seq as combined libraries, and do RT-PCR and NGS sequence - to see alt splices
Ramadesikan #ASHG24 Showing Firefly plot of GNAS, a tool they developed in-house. An imprinted locus; enrolled in rare disease program. RNAseq shows intron 5 variant - Shows a sashimi plot with differing splicing patterns. Evidence for exon 5 skipping.
📣 Fully-funded #PhD with @WHaerty exploring characterisation of noise in alternative splicing.
This highly collaborative project will develop skills in experimental and computational biology in a rapidly developing field.
