AbstractAlternative splicing events are a major causal mechanism for complex traits, but they have been understudied due to the limitation of short-read sequencing. Here, we generate a full-length isoform annotation of human immune cells from an individual by long-read sequencing for 29 cell subsets. This contains a number of unannotated transcripts and isoforms such as a read-through transcript of TOMM40-APOE in the Alzheimer’s disease locus.

Internationally renowned jazz pianist Hiromi Uehara has released a new album, “Sonicwonderland,” in which she explores the field of electric jazz with her new band, Hiromi’s Sonicwonder. In 2016, Uehara was inspired to form this quartet after the bassist of her former band, The Trio Project, was unable to participate in their Japan tour for health reasons and Hadrien Feraud, who is now on bass for Hiromi’s Sonicwonder, performed as a substitute.

As Toshiko Akiyoshi, 93, walked toward the stage, her footsteps were a little tentative. But once she sat at the piano, the change in the jazz star was remarkable. Performing with her daughter, Monday Michiru, who sang and played flute, Akiyoshi improvised in a freewheeling style. It was Nov. 14 last year at the Blue Note Tokyo jazz club, and at the end of the show, the full house crowd gave her a standing ovation. Akiyoshi played with strong, fresh tones that belie her age.
