Abstract Transcription by RNA polymerase II (Pol II) is coupled to pre-mRNA splicing, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Co-transcriptional splicing

Authors Banerjee S, Simonetti FL, Detrois KE, Kaphle A, Mitra R, Nagial R, Söding J Journal Genome Biology Citation Genome Biol. 2021 May 6;22(1):142. Abstract Trans-acting expression quantitative trait loci (trans-eQTLs) account for ≥70% expression heritability and could therefore facilitate uncovering mechanisms underlying the origination of complex diseases. Identifying trans-eQTLs

Authors Koss DJ, Campesan S, Giorgini F, Outeiro TF Journal Movement Disorders Citation Mov Disord. 2021 May 3. Abstract Intracellular vesicular trafficking is essential for neuronal development, function, and homeostasis and serves to process, direct, and sort proteins, lipids, and other cargo throughout the cell. This intricate system of membrane

Authors Pelizzola M, Behr M, Li H, Munk A, Futschik A Journal Nature Computational Science Citation Nat Comput Sci 1, 262–271 (2021). Abstract Because haplotype information is of widespread interest in biomedical applications, effort has been put into their reconstruction. Here, we propose an efficient method, called haploSep, that is

Authors Baeuerlein FJB, Pastor-Pareja JC, Fernandez-Busnadiego R Journal bioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2021.04.14.437159. Abstract Cryo-focused ion beam (cryo-FIB) milling allows thinning vitrified cells for high resolution imaging by cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET). However, it remains challenging to apply this workflow to tissues, as they usually require high-pressure freezing for vitrification. Here we
