Would you believe me if I told you that a single variant in a non-coding RNA explains ~0.5% of all undiagnosed individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) in Genomics England ??? I didn’t initially either, but here is the story of RNU4-2 🧵1/9

The fly has a full #connectome, basically a directed + weighted graph. But what are its connection ‘signs’, excitatory/inhibitory? We move towards this answer, predicting transmitters from EM! w/Nils Eckstein, vid Amy Robinson Sterling, 1/n Published Cell: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…


Nils's incredible work is finally out, amazing work on a multi-talented protein by a multi-talented postdoc! It was a joy to use Dari Dari Kimanius 's new Blush algorithm in #RELION to solve the cryoEM structure of this 40 kDa RNA complex


Such a crazy discovery. I think this captures the reaction of the audience while watching Max Wilkinson present this at the Symposium on the Immune System of Bacteria.
