I had the good fortune on Thursday to hear a fascinating talk on deep transcriptome analysis by Chris Mason, Assistant Professor, at the Institute for Computational Biomedicine at Cornell University. Several intriguing observations were presented during the talk. I'll present the key points first and then discuss the data. These data concern the human transcriptome, and at least some of the results are supported by follow on studies with data from the pigmy tailed macaque. Some of the most interesting points from Mason's talk were: A large fraction of the existing genome annotation is…
