Pictures Considered #58: Visualizing Introns

by Christoph
By reading sequences we easily detect stretches that code for pro­teins. We detect promoters, transcription factor binding motifs, start/stop signals for tran­scription, signals where introns are removed by splicing from primary transcripts (pre‑mRNA) to yield mature messenger RNA (mRNA), and much more. It wasn't always so easy.

Please join the SynBio WA Network's seminar on CRISPR technologies next week (Friday 10th of February).

It will be a great chance to hear about local WA SynBio research and potentially win some prizes from our sponsors.

Cool discovery from a team at the Czech Academy of Sciences:

An organism that can reassign stop codons, apparently!

If your DNA/plasmid is supercoiled and doesn't cut with your enzyme, try adding some Topoisomerase to loosen it up!

Good discussion with a colleague on how we write about to lay audiences, and how we may need to do more to generalise knowledge of molecular biology. E.g. a better general understanding of RNA, what it is, and how it works might’ve done wonders against vaccine hesitancy. We have some fantastic physics communicators in the mainstream, in TV and in popular science publications, maybe we should try to get more cell and molecular biologists there too?
