How does precursor RNA structure influence its processing? https://t.co/sQmlodefXh

@jrkelly What about helical assays?

[Austin Herbert @austin_herbert]

@lpachter What alternatives do you suggest? I recommend STAR, Hisat2, BowTie2.

@tangming2005 @HaoYin20 Don’t forget about rRNA depletion. Usually use bbduk to get percentage of reads filtered out to rRNA kmers. Also adapter content is useful to know, this metric also comes out with fastqc. Useful to know the distribution of adapters across the read length

@Mr_TsCulture It’s liquid chalk. You can see chalk dust on his hands during their first drive of the peach bowl.

No game day pickup for single game student lottery tickets this year?? If you’re a student and can’t pick up your ticket during the week you’re screwed. Deeply unfair to students at extension sites. @ClemsonFB @ClemsonTigerNet @ClemsonTigers @Jon_Blau

@cstegmaier lottery allocation increases with earned credit hour. Awards more games to juniors / seniors. It’s on the website

@AdrianoAguzzi WhatsApp is primary communication platform for most non-US citizens. Could be a family emergency. The 5 seconds checking WhatsApp isn’t going to make or break their success, but you freaking out about it might.

Amazing talk by @austin_herbert and the @LackeyLab at #RNA25! Really great insight into SF3B1 mutation biology at cryptic 3’ss!

Clemson QB Cade Klubnik has announced that he'll be returning in 2025. Not a big surprise, but he's part of a strong nucleus -- OLine, WRs, DL, DBs -- that should have Clemson projected as a Top 5 team in 2025.

"If you've got your back to Cade, he will take advantage. He has become the guy we thought he would be all along" -@PatMcAfeeShow on Cade Klubnik operating at max capacity this season.

33 passing TDs, 7 Rushing TDs.
40 total TDs and only 5 turnovers.

First Revio run for the Clemson Center for Human Genetics. Sequencing two Kinnex RNA Seq libraries from patient samples. Looking forward to getting this data! @PacBio

[Austin Herbert @austin_herbert]

@Jon_Blau Isn’t Clemsons total NIL commitment like 20.5 million? Then following the suggested 75% towards football would make sense of this number.

[Mike Fernandez PhD @MikeSciGuy]

My first first author publication is out now in @CRC_AACR! With collaborative support from the Jia lab and @LeiYu000 @UCRiverside! In this work, we show you how to reliably and easily engineer SF3B1 mutant cell lines!

Happy to share SHAPEwarp-web, a webserver for SHAPE-guided #RNA structure homology search, featuring a fully-rewritten SHAPEwarp core (2 orders of magnitude faster)! We hope this will be a first step towards a "BLAST for RNA structure". Check it out: https://t.co/8jAfLj2p0q (1/n)

Excited to share our paper in @NatureBiotech : Linger, a computational method for gene regulatory network inference from single cell multiome (RNA+ATAC) data. https://t.co/u66Jqc4Zdo

New genetics research could help advance personalized medicine and the broader study of evolution.

@EndWokeness 2.5 million on tracking software THEY COULDNT EVEN GET TO WORK

[Austin Herbert @austin_herbert]

These opinions are cynical and displays your lab environment is more about the success of yourself than it is your students.
