I've been hesitant to put this up, nor have I announced it widely, but since the print version will be out in a day or two, I might as well. Moreover, a girl's first publication opportunity is bound to be exciting--and an affirmation that in some very small way (lots of PCR, lots of gels) I've been fortunate enough to have helped in making a contribution to science, to understanding how the world works.

I wish I knew what that all meant, but congratulations, Stephcot!
Thanks, Ben!
It's actually not all that complex, I just don't have a virtual white board :) The upshot is that it's looking at an additional mechanism of regulating gene expression at the translational level. This mechanism, alternative splicing, is known to be involved in and/or important for a variety of processes (*see* my lovely introduction--now tucked safely away in Fine and Mudd--which sadly is much too long for this purpose).
Oh, just that, huh? Why, it's so simple!
Regulating gene expression at the translational level. An additional mechanism!
For all I know, this could be an episode of Star Trek, and you could have just told me about the Heisenberg compensators in the transporter system...
