I was told by consultant for Saudi gov that it’s a well-known secret amongst U.K. & Europe gov officials that they are knowingly importing Russian fuels indirectly via Saudi Arabia. Any reporting on this? Is this a phase-out or just an elaborate dance?

@PaulFlicek @petrathepostdoc @RmMasa @BenoitBallester @kentepozidou @RimoldiMarti @em6wong @CamLBerthelot @aj4re Wow, these pictures take us more than 10 years back! It had been a privilege and it was really amazing working with you in your research group and then Ensembl. I wish you all the best for the future and good luck.

Super-interesting stuff by a large group of authors - intriguing that #rapamycin extends epigenetic predicted lifespan while dietary restriction does not. Epigenetic predictors of maximum lifespan and other life history traits in mammals https://t.co/ik6lSGGzsj

Israel: Fully open economy, R still declining, now 0.62

40 days after exiting lockdown

From the peak of mid-January:
85% fewer daily deaths
72% fewer daily critically ill
86% fewer daily cases

40 days after exiting the previous October lockdown, R was already at 1.15

@PaulFlicek Done!

>1M people vaccinated

Less than have had 10 allergic reactions

So, <1 in 100K

Remember about 1 in 2,000 courses of penicillin leads to allergic reaction

1 in 200 folks have had anaphylaxis to meds at some point

Yes lets sort out cause of vaccine rxns

But perspective helpful

1/7 Orthogroups provide the foundation of almost all comparative genomics. But just how good are orthogroup inference methods at defining orthogroups? Our paper comparing different methods has just been published in GBE:

Great to bring so many people from the @EU_H2020 @faangomics projects (@GeneSwitch @BovReg @AQUA_FAANG) to @emblebi to foster collaboration on analysis pipeline development, comparative analyses, dissemination and training. Some fantastic ideas and discussions.
