Beautiful paper from @sandynandagopal , Galit Lahav & colleagues. a seemingly “messy” circuit of dimerizing proteins (bHLH factors) can process a combinatorial input signals. Important step in more systematically understanding biological signal processing
How does one (signaling) arm know what the other is doing in the cell? Through a network of bHLH transcription factors obviously! Our work showing how neural stem cells integrate signals to coordinate a fate response is now out: cell.com/cell-reports/f…
I just love the great writing, beautiful books (and now...the capsule!) that @NikoMcCarty and others at @AsimovPress are creating.
Our second book is now available for pre-order. 🎉 Embracing the book's technology theme, we did something special: We encoded the entire book into DNA & packaged it into stainless steel capsules, where it will live for tens of thousands of years. 1,000 copies were made... 🧵
How could we identify key genes involved in any biological process and cell type? Please read on about Nuclear In-Situ Sequencing (NIS-Seq) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Amazing opportunity to work with phenomenal scientist…
Join us @ArcInstitute and @Stanford Genetics! We're looking for a phenomenally talented and motivated Research Associate II to help us build synthetic biology and genomic technologies to understand and manipulate cells. Apply here! bit.ly/HornsLabRA
AI-Science: New features! - Human-AI copilot app: Much more powerful (and fun) than the AI agents doing it all. - Fully annotated figures! - “Data Chaining”: All results (inc Figures) are click-traced to the specific code lines that created them! pip install data-to-paper
Published today in @Nature, we describe an approach for single-molecule protein reading on @nanopore arrays. By utilizing ClpX unfoldase to ratchet proteins through a CsgG nanopore, we achieved single-amino-acid sensitivity. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Attention prospective postdocs! The Azrieli International Postdoctoral Fellowship for Research at Israeli Universities in STEM, Humanities, and Social Sciences is now open for applications! You can apply today for the 2025–26 cohort. The Azrieli International Postdoctoral…
Top 10 Manu Prakash teachings from his amazing episode of the Night Science Podcast. 1. Science is a sense of wonder; a personal sense of experience. 2. Science gives us increasing agency; you realize it’s like a car you drive with no roads. 🧵⬇️ @ManuPra18599785 @MartinJLercher
Check out this awesome work from Will — a huge step towards the dream of multiplexed long-term recording of cellular histories.
Super excited to share that ENGRAM is out today! ENGRAM cells are programmed to write their histories into the genome, recording the intensity, duration, and order of biological events simultaneously. nature.com/articles/s4158…
@schierlab and I are super happy to share this review for the 50th @CellCellPress. We really enjoyed working on it and we hope you will share our excitement for developmental biology: from pattern formation, self organisation and human development! cell.com/cell/abstract/…
If you are among the best in the world at cloning, plasmid prep, viral vector prep, sequencing prep, construct design, genome assembly, etc, please reach out to [email protected] or DM me if interested. We want to hire you.
Ginkgo Bioworks notified ~300 really talented people they will be laid off. I’m lucky to not be one, but would love to help those hit - talent of every level & specialty If you have job leads, I can forward - DM me / reply to this / DM me on LinkedIn linkedin.com/in/keithrobison
