It's great to know that my first paper (shorturl.at/ayEFW) in @JimJohnsonSci lab got lots of downloads! Or did I download it too many times myself 😂 #TopDownloadedArticle

I'm excited to share our new paper entitled “Human and mouse muscle transcriptomic analyses identify insulin receptor mRNA downregulation in hyperinsulinemia-associated insulin resistance” published on @FASEBorg~ faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…. A brief summary is below.

Happy to see the 1st product from our wonderful collaboration with the Rideout Lab out in peer-reviewed form. To my knowledge, this is the most comprehensive analysis of the differences between female and male beta cells, which are quite striking. Female cells are more resilient.
Delighted to share that our paper on sex differences in islet stress responses is now online! sciencedirect.com/science/ar… This is the MSc work of @BrownriggGeorge in collaboration with @JimJohnsonSci

Since Lindholm et al 8yr ago RNAseq - applied to human muscle - has produced erroneous data & incorrect claims of superior performance
After great efforts by @tjstokes5 @HowardCen and colleagues we explain some of the why's #MyoTwitter #Transcriptomics
