Not being in single-cell genomics but having had colour blind co-workers: there are many many plots in papers that have the same problem. Programmes such as inkscape or illustrator will allow you to preview figures in „colour blind“ - it‘s a simple check to do!

co-trx RNA folding for pre-mRNA and mature mRNA (after ribosome exit) may be largely driven by local folding~

A pair of graphs I think about a lot. On the topic of pooled CRISPR screens, the left is "replicate correlation" when simply examining the abundance of guide RNAs, i.e. log-normalized read counts. On the right is taking those same data and subtracting from a common starting point, i.e. pDNA.

Among so many amazing starter packs, but none focused on RNA splicing - so we made one! Check out the accounts we’ve included so far, and let us know if you’d like to be added or have suggestions! go.bsky.app/TigRnmC #rnasplicing

good resource for US-based postdocs! also check out the entire list beyond the cancer focused fellowships!
