Must-know numbers in human genetics -- As many of you know, I'm writing a free online textbook in human genetics. In this blog post I cover a key skill for genome scientists from that book: how to use mental math to figure out key genome properties. jkpritchard.substack.com/p/on-fermi-p...

When Did Sports Get So Loud?
Athletes have become influencers. In-game production has become “storytelling.” And everything has gotten very, very stimulating.

How can a splicing factor bind to thousands of exons but regulate only a few of them? In our new preprint, we show that SRSF6 resolves this paradox through two distinct binding modes. @lab-nmr.bsky.social & @julianvonehr.bsky.social. Check it out: www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-9...

New paper! How do RNAs "know" where to go inside a cell? We dug into the sequence elements that route RNAs to the right place. It turns out that, in mammals, they're surprisingly massive (>200 nt), multipartite, and wonderfully complicated. 🧵
