Many conserved exons in the heart and brain utilize weak 5 ′ splice sites, yet they are accurately spliced. But how? We show that splicing fidelity is actively enforced through a QKI-U6 checkpoint at the U1→U6 handover in essential cardiac genes during organogenesis. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share my PhD research, now on bioRxiv! We report a proteo-transcriptomic reprogramming and resource reallocation in the aging brain. Co–first author with Verena Kluever. Grateful to @forna.bsky.social‬ for mentorship, and to @tatjanat.bsky.social‬, Carlos López Otín & all collaborators🧠
