So happy to see this preprint - the result of years of behind the scenes bioinformatics graft and painstakingly careful analysis. Massive kudos to Ailith Ewing and Colin Semple for pulling it all together into a cohesive narrative.

A postdoc position is available in our lab MRC_HGU to study regulation and physiological relevance of the Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) pathway in vivo, using cells in culture and transgenic mice models.
