It has been a blast to work with so many talented researchers across our the globe. Specially, continuing working with @theaidenlab (@odudcha, @cynthi_PE & @erezaterez ), the Gilbert Lab (@marce_save & Tom Gilbert).
Juan @jrotwitguez and I have really enjoyed this work! 😃👇
Una técnica revolucionaria rescata el ADN intacto de un mamut y acerca la resurrección de criaturas extinguidas. Los “fósiles de cromosomas”, de una hembra fallecida hace 52.000 años en Siberia, abren una ventana a un mundo desconocido para la ciencia https://t.co/KoK51JegFb 👇
"Es la mayor recuperación de un felino nunca conseguida mediante la conservación"
El lince ibérico sale de la categoría de especie “en peligro de extinción” tras dos décadas

Ha muerto el inigualable Daniel Dennett @danieldennett
Os dejo con la que considero una de sus contribuciones más poderosas e interesantes, en 7 minutos Dennett explicaba la extraña inversión del pensamiento que requiere la biología evolutiva

Hace millones de años, el elemento Alu5 se movió y copió en un intrón del gen TBXT, haciendo que la proteína que codifica este gen se vea alterada y, por ende, la ruta molecular que conduce a la formación de la cola. ¿El resultado? Atrofia o ausencia de desarrollo de la cola.
👉 Organizamos la segunda Jornada Bioinformática en Aragón para analizar los retos y oportunidades de este sector en crecimiento.
🟢 Hablaremos sobre bioinformática y One Health, el papel del bioinformático clínico y escucharemos ponencias de expertos.

So @nanopore discovered something a few days ago - and it has to do with light. And they posted this image (sorry, too good not to share off the community). Yes, that’s 469% increased output. So, we decided to give it a shot and …
