After years of telling visitors to Brisbane what an awesome place it is for fun* adventures, I've decided to make a list in the order I remember them of my favourite places to go for ease of reference. Here goes ...

Reposting comment on preprint of this @Dev_Cell paper. Stats done on technical replicates of L1 KD to make small absolute changes seem significant. Biological replicates were available but not used for stats, why? Because p>0.05? I don't understand this.

I doubt the stated phenotype here is due to changes in L1 mRNA. The ASO and CRISPRi KD approaches (Figs 1, S1, S2) reduce L1 expression by <10% and these small changes are noted as efficient and significant KD. Stats were done on tech reps to give p<0.05

1/ Our lab’s first preprint found a wonderful journal home! 🎉
Our paper explores the role of testis-specific transcription factors in Drosophila and reveals broad functional connections between tissue-specific paralog proteins.

Thoughtful and rigorous work from @RippeiH and @PRAndersen teams looking at PAF1C and transcriptional termination. Interesting for me to look at "the other end" of transcription for a change. I wonder what brings tTAF and tPAF together?

This @CellCellPress paper reported rat RNLTR12-int ncRNAs influence myelination. I guessed an alternative explanation for what was found but after testing this I was wrong. I wanted to share what we did in case anyone else goes down the same path. 1/n

Juan made a HEK293T line (where RNLTR12-int should be absent) stably expressing rat Mbp and introduced the RNLTR12-int siRNA, then used the published Mbp qPCR primers to evaluate the siRNA's effect on Mbp compared to a non-targeting siRNA. No significant effect was observed. 4/n

In sum, my alternative hypothesis was not proven and the RNLTR12-int siRNA doesn't seem to impact Mbp. We discussed all of this with the authors as we went along but I also thought there was a good chance someone else might see the same thing - if so there's an answer here. 5/5
