New preprint 📣! We reanalysed stress granule transcriptomes and found differential centrifugation is strongly biased by RNA length. Correcting for this erases most reported overlap. Mitochondrial RNAs remain as a modest signal, hinting at immune signalling. doi.org/10.64898/202...

Garbage In, Plot Out 🧠 A bioinformatics pipeline will always give you something: a plot, a p-value, a cluster. It won’t tell you whether the parameters you chose were the right ones. That’s the black box problem in bioinformatics 📊. A thread on why critical thinking matters 🧵
