🐠 New pre-print from the lab! 🐠 Neural microexons fine-tune protein function - but how do they impact arousal states and underlying neuronal signaling pathways? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Check out our latest pre-print by @tahneema.bsky.social et al, @upf.edu @crg.eu. 🧵👇 1/9

Neural microexons modulate arousal states via cAMP signalling in zebrafish
Arousal states, often dysregulated in neurodevelopmental disorders, shape how organisms perceive and respond to their environment. Here, we show that srrm3, a master regulator of neural microexons, is...

"The main fates after gene duplication are gene loss, redundancy, subfunctionalization and neofunctionalization". In our new review, @fedemantica.bsky.social and I argue we are missing the most prevalent one: specialization. And the same applies to alternative splicing! 1/7 tinyurl.com/45k7kbmp
