🌍 Many still think we have decades to act
A new study finds that most UK parliamentarians, like the wider public, overestimate how long humanity has to peak global greenhouse gas emissions to keep warming below 1.5°C.

UK members of parliament overestimate the time available to mitigate climate change, with notable partisan differences, and a similar lack of knowledge is evident among publics in Britain, Canada, Chile, and Germany, according to an analysis that uses representative survey data.

🧪Happy to share our latest paper in Genome Biology.
We profiled #RNA isoforms from 31 neuropsychiatric risk genes in the human brain using long-read sequencing. Unannotated isoforms commonly made up a significant proportion of a gene's expression.

Long-read sequencing reveals the RNA isoform repertoire of neuropsychiatric risk genes in human brain - Genome Biology
Background Neuropsychiatric disorders are highly complex conditions and the risk of developing a disorder has been tied to hundreds of genomic variants that alter the expression and/or RNA isoforms made by risk genes. However, how these genes contribute to disease risk and onset through altered expression and RNA splicing is not well understood. Results Combining our new bioinformatic pipeline IsoLamp with nanopore long-read amplicon sequencing, we deeply profile the RNA isoform repertoire of 31 high-confidence neuropsychiatric disorder risk genes in Human brain. We show most risk genes are more complex than previously reported, identifying 363 novel isoforms and 28 novel exons, including isoforms which alter protein domains, and genes such as ATG13 and GATAD2A where most expression was from previously undiscovered isoforms. The greatest isoform diversity is detected in the schizophrenia risk gene ITIH4. Mass spectrometry of brain protein isolates confirms translation of a novel exon skipping event in ITIH4, suggesting a new regulatory mechanism for this gene in the brain. Conclusions Our results emphasize the widespread presence of previously undetected RNA and protein isoforms in the human brain and provide an effective approach to address this knowledge gap. Uncovering the isoform repertoire of candidate neuropsychiatric risk genes will underpin future analyses of the functional impact these isoforms have on neuropsychiatric disorders, enabling the translation of genomic findings into a pathophysiological understanding of disease.
