📢Online now! 📰Splicing-specific transcriptome-wide association uncovers genetic mechanisms for #schizophrenia 🧑🤝🧑@gracexiao99 @bpasaniuc & colleagues cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…
Excited to share that our paper: "Uncovering spatiotemporal dynamics of the corticothalamic network at ictal onset" is out in Epilepsia! with Hiroki Nariai, Atsuro Daida, Shingo Oana, @BillSpeier, @uclachildneuro, et. al bit.ly/3walCTu (1/4)
My first first author paper is now online with @BiologicalPsyc1! We compared two sets of MDD symptoms and found that current symptoms collected by PHQ9 are meaningfully different from lifetime symptoms collected through CIDI-SF. (1/n)
Excited to announce that our work on editing-free double-stranded RNA identification in long-read RNA-seq is online in Bioinformatics! academic.oup.com/bioinformatics… I want to thank my advisor @gracexiao99 and my co-authors for their contributions. But why do we care about dsRNA? 1/n
We recruited participant number 50,000 today! All thanks to this amazing Misión Origen team and 50,000 valientes! Onward
