Just notified of my abstract's acceptance at #ISMB, and am following the interesting developments being reported from #bg2011.
2011-05-11 09:41:45Just finished an untweetable talk, but next talk by Thomas Gingeras is tweetable. 50% acceptance rate so far... #bg2011
2011-05-11 09:47:21Thomas Gingeras up next, talking about lessons learned about transcription from the ENCODE project #BG2011
2011-05-11 09:49:44TG: latest human gene annotation set contains 20,684 protein-coding genes, and >30,000 non-protein genes! #bg2011
2011-05-11 09:51:37TG: Even apparently protein-coding genes typically produce at least some non-coding transcripts. #bg2011
2011-05-11 09:53:55T Gingeras: #BG2011 median of ~8 transcripts per gene locus, even for non-protein coding loci. Loci examined = 20500
2011-05-11 09:54:39TG: The number of predicted human genes (~50K, with ~20K protein coding ) has been stable for the last two years. #BG2011
2011-05-11 09:54:50TG: RNA sequencing reveals thousands of non-coding transcripts; overall, 75% of the genome produces RNA. #bg2011
2011-05-11 10:02:36Gingeras ENCODE results: 35% of intergenic regions are transcribed. #BG2011
2011-05-11 10:06:58TG Class of small (~20 nt) RNAs found in cytosolic RNAs preferentially @ splice donor sites of highly included exons. Intriguing #BG2011
2011-05-11 10:08:02great tweets from #bg2011 suggest you follow @dgmacarthur for all the genetic tweet updates @drgautammehta
2011-05-11 10:10:25whoa. RT @dgmacarthur: TG: RNA sequencing reveals thousands of non-coding transcripts; overall, 75% of the genome produces RNA. #bg2011
2011-05-11 10:11:30Transcriptional noise? RT @genetics_blog: whoa. MT @dgmacarthur: TG: RNA sequencing reveals 75% of the genome produces RNA. #bg2011
2011-05-11 10:13:37No decaf available at the #bg2011 coffee break. perhaps soon I will tweet about science instead of the food. !fb
2011-05-11 10:18:50Following 2 exciting meetings this evening: Biology of Genomes , CSHL & FutureMed, Singularity U. #bg2011 #FutureMed #gimh #bioinformatics
2011-05-11 10:26:35so Far Lieb on transcription factor function & Ernst on chromatin state dynamics in 9 cell types are tweetable @ #BG2011
2011-05-11 10:26:45This is a big meeting. Or rather it feels like there are a few too many people for the available space. #bg2011
2011-05-11 10:33:08Back from the break, all coffee'd up and ready for Jason Lieb's talk about chromatin and transcription in yeast #BG2011
2011-05-11 10:34:24JL ChIP is missing out on dynamics of of nucleus and gene regulation. #BG2011
2011-05-11 10:38:57Competition ChIP: 2 tags on same TF, run ChIP-seq over time course, measure rate of TF turnover across binding sites #BG2011
2011-05-11 10:46:11Jason Lieb: the standard approach to measuring transcription factor binding (ChIP) misses important dynamics #bg2011
2011-05-11 10:49:21JL: Fast turnover of RAP1 TF goes with fast nucleosome turnover. Slow turnover -> RAP1 occupancy up, nuclesome down #BG2011
2011-05-11 10:52:03If Ewan Birney doesn't ask a question...the world will end #bg2011
2011-05-11 10:52:18Jason Ernst is talking about using ENCODE epigenomic mapping to shed light on GWAS hits #BG2011
