We have released a new batch of functional annotations (v11): 600 entries from previous publications investigating the function of AS events. This makes a total of 3637 entries directly from publications, 397 from CRISPR screens and 1511 from experimentally validated ELMs.

Who would have thought that an actual sequence of a #microexon (GCAAGGACATATGGGCGAAGGAGA from CPEB4) would be in the headline of an article in @elpais_espana! Congrats to the Mendez, @xsalvatella1 and @JJLucasLab labs for this amazing work! english.elpais.com/science-t…

Out now: Using highly sensitive luminescence splicing reporters, we screened ~95,000 small-molecule compounds for modulators of neuronal microexons, a class of highly conserved alternative splicing misregulated in #autism & #NeuroendocrineCancer. 1/4 go.nature.com/3Wh6kp2

Published today! We found that cancer cells adapting to drug treatments don't simply switch from a sensitive to resistant state; instead there's a ‘resistance continuum’ of resistant phenotypes with epigenetically reprogrammed states. 🧵⬇️ nature.com/articles/s41586-0… @Gustavo_SFranca
