Targeted proteomics informed by long-read RNA-sequencing reveals protein isoform expression associated with bone mineral density

The expanding catalog of sQTLs from projects like GTEx has established that genetic risk for complex traits is frequently mediated through RNA splicing. Yet it is generally unknown whether disease-associated splice events produce stable, distinct protein isoforms and whether they are functionally consequent. Even the deepest shotgun proteomics efforts only capture a minority of annotated splice…

Fire, smoke and statesmanship

When choking transboundary haze pushed Singapore and Indonesia to the brink of an economic and diplomatic standoff, pragmatic leadership proved that following the money trail—not nationalist…
