- Reposted by Margaret FrankWe need to talk about mobile RNAs... SNP-based analysis of transcriptomic datasets are subject to technical noise, incomplete genome assemblies and pseudoheterozygosity so it seems like we don't know as much as we thought we knew. #PlantScience @johninnescentre.bsky.social
- Reposted by Margaret FrankAn important consequence of the analysis by Paajanen et al is that the 'cell-to-cell mobile RNA' user-defined description listed under Gene Ontology by TAIR is a classification based on flawed analyses. Be careful! #PlantScience
