Yesterday, I had the absolute pleasure of joining the National Genetics Course of @segenetica.bsky.social
at the stunning Cristalera, teaching about long-read transcriptomics. 🧬✨
Inspiring discussions with brilliant young scientists and a joy to reconnect with old friends. Huge thanks! 🙌

I enjoyed reading this paper by @hubertr.bsky.social lab comparing artifacts in scRNAseq vs sc-Isoseq @pacbio.bsky.social Concluded standard pigeon filtering may remove too many isoforms, a problem we address in SQANTI3 through our Resue step.

Interesting discussion at today´s #ISMBECCB2025 keynote Amos Bairoch on sustainability of molecular databases, a growing concern as they´re underfunded. Industry should pay? users? charge to grants? We need a serious commitment to preserve the common knowledge. @iscb.bsky.social @elixir-europe.org

Leda is really lucky to work in such an amazing scientific environment. She is our expert in tRNAs. Did you know that RNAs is much more that one linear sequence? They can be modified in many different ways before translation. Leda wants to crack the code and find how this impacts cancer. Go, Leda!

LongTREC @longtrec.bsky.social · Jul 13

Next up in our LongTREC video series is Leda Katopodi!

Leda is doing exciting research at @crg.eu, working with
