Check the last preprint from @simonhenriet.bsky.social & colleagues. By studying appendicularians, they revealed the events that permitted non-canonical splicing in these organisms:
. Duplication & divergence of U2AF splicing factors
. Gain & loss of chemical modifications on the spliceosomal RNA
We are very proud to share that the Centre's Appendicularian facility and head engineer/Oikopleura whisperer Anne Aasjord @aaasjord.bsky.social from @appygenetics.bsky.social are featured in a 🧪 documentary produced by @warholmfilm.bsky.social in collaboration with NORCE 🤩👏
Four people stand behind a booth in the Bergen University Museum Whale Hall. A skeleton is visible hanging from the ceiling, there are glass cases with specimens. At the booth, an aquarium, a laptop and scientific drawings are displayed.
An aquarium with comb jellies, lit from the side to highlight their delicate shape, is displayed on a table covered in a black tablecloth.
It was an honor to take part in the celebration of 200 years of knowledge at @universitetsmuseet.bsky.social, together with colleagues from across @unibergen.bsky.social departments 🎉🎂 The Burkhardt group showcased comb jellies in the Museum's majestic whale hall ✨ @pawelburkhardt.bsky.social

How does temperature impact development? 🌡️ Michael Dorrity @mwdorr.bsky.social from @embl.org shared his integrated approach to revealing the relationship between temperature stress and developmental rate in fishes 🐟🐠 Thank you for a great talk and discussions! 👏
