It's official! My paper (with @mwpen & @ribonucleicacid) on the evolution of gene product diversity (RNA/protein expressed from this same gene having alternative isoforms) is now online at @MolSystBiol! embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

I’m very much done with this app but here’s something for which I’m willing to come back & tweet… Our paper on the evolution of gene is just accepted at @MolSystBiol !🥳 Final version coming soon!

This finding shows different optimization strategies: at moderate Ne, a global solution is selected for, as local optimization is impossible in face of mutational pressure and drift; at large Ne, local optimization of cis- loci is possible, and constraint is lifted.

This is it for this 🧵. Please check out our preprint for more cool findings!

Got to visit the (in)famous Oceanwide Plaza in DTLA today—these unfinished buildings are owned by a Chinese company that failed to pay its debt, and later decorated by graffiti. #OceanwidePlaza #graffiti

Biked to @labreatarpits for the second time today. Visiting such awesome places reminds me that biology is still fascinating.

This paper on TFBS evolution is finally out near the end of 2023. Now all my thesis chapters are published. 2023 also happened to my "big year" in terms of publication (not in terms of mental health and some other things though)... academic.oup.com/mbe/advance…
