Exon skipping is correlated with exon circularization by Kelly, S, Greenman, C, Cook, PR, Papantonis, A

“…Here, we stimulated primary human endothelial cells with tumor necrosis factor α or tumor growth factor β, purified RNA, generated > 2.4 billion RNA-seq reads, and used a custom pipeline to characterize circular RNAs derived from coding exons. We find that circularization of exons is widespread and correlates with exon skipping, a feature that adds considerably to the regulatory complexity of the human transcriptome.…”

Nietzsche and the significance of genealogy by Prescott-Couch, A

“…On this view, Nietzsche provides a ‘deconstructive genealogy’ that indicates whether and where we should expect to find unity in our current moral practices. Moreover, Nietzsche’s history contributes to a critique of contemporary morality because it reveals that morality is unlikely to have the kind of unity required by many of its defenders. …”

Should investors care where private equity managers went to school? by Fuchs, F, Füss, R, Jenkinson, T, Morkoetter, S

“…In particular, we explore three potential channels of how their educational background may influence fund performance: (i) institutional quality, (ii) individual performance, and (iii) academic variety. We find that a combination of top-tier education and work experience identifies individual performance in the management team. …”

Study of circulation of traffic agents at the road-side bus-stops by Sim, Si Hui

“…Singapore's Walk-Cycle-Ride initiatives have increased traffic density at bus-stops, raising safety concerns for bus commuters and pedestrians, particularly regarding heightened risks associated with cyclist behaviour in constricted spaces like the bus-stops. Thus, this study evaluates factors influencing cyclist behaviour and current bus-stop layouts’ effectiveness, including implemented safety features like blue dash lines, rumble strips, and "Slow" markings. …”
