๐ŸšจBREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Poly(A) tails enhance the stability & translation of eukaryotic mRNAs. The tail length is positively correlated to ribosome density in embryos, but the correlation is lost in non-embryonic cells. => Developmental stage dependent regulation.

#MicroSky:Garay-Novillo et al have developed a plasmid-based CRISPR-Cas9 strategy that is highly efficient for plasmid curing and gene-editing of Lactococcus. These plasmids allow tunable expression of cas9 enabling the generation of plasmid-free strains.Read: https://doi.org/10.1111/1751-7915.70060

Another reminder that RNA content does not necessarily correspond with protein content. RNA-Seq is useful, but cannot be interpreted as describing protein concentrations ๐Ÿฆ ๐Ÿงช๐Ÿงซ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿงฌ #MicroSky www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
