Transcriptomics of independent CRISPR-edited cell lines reveal ciliary-specific ARL13B dependent changes
Abstract Primary cilia coordinate signaling pathways that regulate tissue homeostasis and development, and defects in cilia contribute to numerous ciliopathies. However, the transcriptional consequences of disrupting ciliary protein localization remain poorly defined. ARL13B is a cilia-enriched regulatory GTPase required for ciliary trafficking and signaling.

Flow, In the Words of Co-Writer and Producer Matīss Kaža
“Our goal was to make you feel like you are this cat,” said Matīss Kaža, co-screenwriter/producer of Flow, before a showing of the animated film at my college this past Wednesday. Flow—also known as Straume in its native Latvian—recently won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature and became the most-viewed film in Latvian history. It was produced on a budget of just $3.7 million by a startlingly small team, with many of the filmmakers (Kaža included) juggling several roles at once.

A Crash Course in Jeans
Fashion A Crash Course in Jeans Ever since I started wearing jeans, I’ve had questions that go beyond the typical “why are they so uncomfortable?” and “when will skinny jeans finally go out of style?” I wanted to know the minutia: why do they have rivets? Why is blue the default color? Why have jeans been the gold standard of pants since the Gold Rush? Why haven’t they undergone major alterations since the 19th century, and why are they still so popular today?
The Fantasy Novel You’re Reading Is (Probably) Not Magical Realism
Lit The Fantasy Novel You’re Reading Is (Probably) Not Magical Realism One of the riskier things you can do in your literature class is refer to any old work of reality-bending fiction as “magical realism.” In my classes, it’s happened twice this week: an unwitting student uses the term magical realism to describe a book or short story that leans fantastical, and the professor is quick to correct their claim, reminding them that the genre has a complex historical and political history.

The Young People Leading the Grassroots Revolution
It is no secret that young people are often at the helm of social movements in the United States: take the high schoolers who wore in protest of the Vietnam War, take March For Our Lives, take the occupation protests started by college students in support of Palestine. These youth movements may be among the flashiest, but they certainly aren’t the only ones affecting change.
How the Trump Administration Will Impact Students
Current Events How the Trump Administration Will Impact Students During his inaugural address on January 20th, a newly-appointed President Donald Trump stood in the Capitol Rotunda and offered a preview of the next four years, including his plans for the U.S. education system: “We have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves—in many cases, to hate our country despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them.
What Happened to Teen Magazines?
If you asked me to picture a teenage girl when I was growing up in the 2010s, a vivid pink-hued image would have popped into my mind: she’s draped over tiger-print bed covers, enveloped in a gallery of boy band posters and Polaroid photos, kicking bunny-slippered feet lazily through the air, thumbing through a teen magazine. Seventeen, maybe, or Elle Girl. She exudes style and nonchalance—actually, she’s probably Candace from Phineas and Ferb or Teddy from Good Luck Charlie.
College Student Literacy is Down, but My Determination is Up
In theory, I love to read. I’m a literature major. I keep a novel in my bag, on the table, at my bedside. One of my favorite annual traditions is a book swap with my friends, my favorite store is Barnes & Noble, my favorite place to study is the campus library. I adore creative writing and my college classes push me to develop this skill—what better fuel for good writing than avid reading?

Pinterest is the Best App On My Phone-and it’s Not Even Close
When I was finally ready to accept that my time was being wasted, I moved most of my social media apps to a folder on my phone called “Pandora’s Box.” This seemed the next best solution to going cold turkey. Although I consider deleting Instagram nearly every time I open the app, I haven’t yet found the resolve to part with the vacation posts of people I no longer speak to and the AI-generated reels of ice cream morphing uncomfortably into dalmatian puppies.
Election Day on My College Campus
My Election Day begins at midnight with a heavy dose of uncertainty. I’m from New Hampshire, a state which prides itself on being early: we hold the first presidential primary in the nation, and we also cast the first votes of the general election. Up in Dixville Notch, a community just twenty miles south of the Canadian border, every registered voter in the township gathers in a miniature “Ballot Room” to ring in Election Day at midnight on the dot. This year, there are six voters total.
USS Alabama welcomes back 99-year-old WWII veteran for emotional reunion

Teevan was born in Ireland in 1925 and boarded the “Lucky A” in 1944.
A Walz-Vance Debate Retrospective
“Tim is one of the most human-like politicians I can think of,” my eighteen-year-old sister texted me midway through the CBS vice presidential debate this past Tuesday. “He just seems real.” Indeed, one of the main takeaways from the debate was its congeniality: opposing presidential and vice-presidential candidates have rarely deigned to regard one another with basic respect on the debate stage in recent years.
Students find their place at organizations fair
Starting college is an exciting yet intimidating time for many students. New people, unfamiliar environments and the challenge of adapting to rigorous academics can make the transition overwhelming. With all these changes, finding a supportive group of people with similar interests can be key to making the most of this new chapter. At Tech, one of the best ways to ease this transition and feel connected to campus life is through the Fall Organizations Fair (Org Fair).
How Biden Lost the Youth Vote & Can Harris Win Us Over?
On the cusp of the 1972 U.S. Senate election in Delaware, 63-year-old incumbent James Caleb Boggs—a nostalgia candidate, regarded as grandfatherly and beloved by the Republican party—was running virtually unopposed. The only Democrat willing to challenge him was 29-year-old county councilman Joe Biden, whose chances looked bleak. His campaign was severely underfunded, his rejection of the term “liberal” alienated less centric Democrats, and he was trailing Boggs by 28 points in the polls.
