We present newly-minted PhD, Dr. Kowal (@ejkk0)'s exciting work on how different intron sequences enhance gene expression! Read to discover what motifs create the strongest introns as well as other intriguing insights from her large-scale screen:

Elegant study by @ejkk0 & @daSpliceIsRight identifying 5'UTR intron sequences that enhance mRNA expression. Cool to see the integ. reporter + higher Dox leading to greater intron-med. enhancement. Suggests a feedback loop between transcription & splicing to boost gene expression!

CB lab head, Chris, is participating in a team Iron Man in 2 weeks with two other dads of daughters with epilepsy.
He will be doing the swimming leg and they are raising funds for @CureEpilepsy to support more research.

Want to understand how splicing decisions are actually made in the cell based on pre-mRNA sequence? PhD student Kayla McCue has been hard at work modelling just that, & we're very excited to announce that now you can read about it in her new preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New Burge Lab preprint! How do we interpret the impact of genetic variants in non-coding regions of the human genome? Led by Postdoc Scott Findlay, this work describes our efforts to validate classification of regulatory variants in 3ʹ UTRs: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Short 🧵👇

Alternative splicing matters for genetic diagnoses. Honored to be a part of this exciting work on the impact of splicing in SCN8A. Sodium channels undergo mutually exclusive alternative splicing, with higher 5N during development, shifting to exon 5A during early childhood.

DHX15 is one of the helicases in the spliceosome. We found that it mediates splicing quality control by repressing the splicing of weak introns - but it can't do it alone! Teamwork makes the dream work, in the lab & in this paper, out now in Cell Reports! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Neural Networks are often used as black box predictive tools, but do they have to be?

Here we strive to create an interpretable model of RNA splicing based closely on the known binding & activity of RBPs, & improve RBP binding prediction along the way.
