Congrats to Ben Langmead on his promotion to full professor! 🎉 Prof. Langmead is recognized across the computational & life sciences fields for his innovative methods helping to transform how biomedical researchers and other life scientists access & use DNA sequencing data. 🧬
To everyone saying this might be a show about biotech I must point out - Weirdly creamy yellow medium - Terrible streaking technique - Q-tip used as inoculating loop If this does turn out to be about biotech, I hope somebody got fired for these blunders
Happiness is contagious.
Happy to share that our work from the @nmancuso_ lab is out in @NatureGenet! We developed SuShiE, a multiancestry fine-mapping method for molecular traits. doi.org/10.1038/s41588…
They then went through the published literature looking for later work that either supported or refuted each claim. Rather than looking for studies that exactly replicated the methods of an experiment behind a result, or reproduced an identical effect, they searched to see if the…
Cell-free protein synthesis systems, optimized at Ginkgo and now available to you! Ginkgo has been using cell-fee protein synthesis systems in house for years, and we’re now making our E. coli system available to outside users! We’ve optimized it for: • High production from…
The White House said it would ban Wall Street Journal reporters from the press pool covering President Trump’s upcoming trip to Scotland, its latest attack on the media outlet for its recent report tying the president to Jeffrey Epstein. wapo.st/44Zli7A
This is like something out of North Korea.
Buried in amendments to the Interior Dept. Gov funding bill, is a stipulation that the Kennedy Center Opera House must be renamed the 'First Lady Melania Trump Opera House' in order to receive federal funds. The Appropriations Committee adopted that amendment by a vote of 33-25.

(New Playbook) Human evidence is everything in biotech. It’s the proof that a new therapeutic works, the foundation for investor belief, and the floodgate for real-world patient impact. This is why us @CompoundVC have written a playbook on how biotech companies can get human…

NIH situation aside, 800K to fund CASP seems like a small amount of money compared to the valuations attributed to @IsomorphicLabs, @Xaira_Thera, and others. should industry to step up and provide some no-strings-attached funding for the benchmark that gave BioML credibility?
simultaneous inhibition of UBE3A and ZER1 is very likely to cure all cervical cancers and about half of head and neck cancers by re-awakening p53 and RB from their virus-induced slumber. and as this depmap plot shows, it will be highly specific to cells containing HPV. someone…

1/ Your genomics analysis is only as good as your reference. Use the wrong genome build, and you’ll misplace peaks, CpG sites, and genes. Here's why that matters 🧵

Peering into mitochondria - gorgeous life patterns! The parallel infolding are "cristae" where respiration and energy transformation happen The purpose of breathing is to bring oxygen to your cristae

As we welcome a new cohort of trainees to the lab, here’s what we tell them. Mistakes aren’t bad, they are a sign of progress. However, mistakes + understanding where we went wrong + course correction = the way to go. Never try to cover up blunders, own it and use it to grow 💪🏼
