Congrats Paula 👏👏

Transposable element exonization generates a reservoir of evolving and functional protein isoforms Transposable element exonization by unannotated splicing events produces stable protein isoforms with acquired functions that are subject to evolutionary selection.

#NotOnlyParasites! 2 Cell papers by @edchuong.bsky.social lab & Amigorena lab demonstrate that transposable elements #TEs can exonize giving rise to functional (often shorter) proteins with distinct functions: eg a decoy short IFNAR2 that inhibits #interferon signaling! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

I'm so excited to announce that our story on LINE-1 DNA methylation has been published in @CellGenomics 🥳🥳

With @retrogenomics.bsky.social @aurelien-doucet.bsky.social and all other authors.

Enjoy the reading!
