How are #cilia built, how do they signal, how do they go awry to cause ciliopathies, and how do we fix them?
Please read and critique our new paper on the genetic determinants of human kidney function @NatureGenet: rdcu.be/dTwye We combined GWAS with CNN and CRISPRi to go from loci to target genes. This roadmap may be useful to others uncovering genes underlying human traits.
🧵1/8 We’re excited to announce our new @CellReports paper, “Intramuscular adipose tissue restricts functional muscle recovery,” where we defined the functional impact of IMAT on muscle regeneration. tinyurl.com/mpuyadcp

Great, raucous gathering for #StandUpForScience in San Francisco!
Do you want the NIH, policymakers and lawmakers to reverse the devastating cut on America's main investment in science infrastructure? Consider joining me in signing this petition: chng.it/kK2HMP5pGk
From Tom Maniatis, a succinct summary of how American science infrastructure has been supported and the devastating effects of cutting down to a federal 15% cap will have: "The impact of this decision, if implemented, will be immediate and far-reaching." cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Check out our latest work using the AID2 system to control the levels of an essential protein in mice. Congrats to the entire team, especially @SladkyValentina and Margaret Strong science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
A nice clear explanation of how scientific breakthroughs require infrastructure. A quote: The Council on Governmental Relations… stated that “America’s competitors will relish this self-inflicted wound.” theconversation.com/how-much-does-…
