AI provides a universal framework that leverages data and compute at scale to uncover higher-order patterns

Today, @arcinstitute in collaboration with @nvidia releases Evo 2—a fully open source biological foundation model trained on genomes spanning the entire tree of life 🧵

Looking for talented, motivated people to join me!
We will try to uncover how plants disassemble the photosynthetic apparatus in senescence and fruit ripening, and uncover the mechanisms governing chilling injuries post harvest.
I promise that it will be interesting and fun.

It’s crazy how talking with a science buddy is simultaneously what’s most likely to move the project forward and the thing that’s least prioritized in our schedule.

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

@DraganaDes Thank you!

Ever wonder why your CRISPR experiment isn’t working? We discovered that DSB induction is not the only factor limiting efficiency at CRISPR/Cas9 targets. In some cases up to 70% of events are repaired precisely!

Check it out!

@NatanellaE @plantae_org @sci_plant @plantpostdocs Bottom line we’ve seen in it in both tomato and arabidopsis..

[Daniela Ben-Tov @DanielaBenTov]

@NatanellaE @plantae_org @sci_plant @plantpostdocs If you have a WT allele and high expressing cas, it will cut.. so if you have a heterozygous T1, it can continue to generate new alleles. You can also get a mosaic if the repair happens in various cells during development (as you can expect with floral dipped arabidopsis

“There is no comparison to what Israel has faced in Gaza—certainly none by which Israel comes out looking the worse.” My latest @Newsweek https://t.co/7oMSDME0UV

Arbel is still held hostage in Gaza by the terror organization Hamas. Don’t forget her.

[John Spencer @SpencerGuard]

“To be clear, I am outraged by the civilian casualties in Gaza. But it's crucial to direct that outrage at the right target. And that target is Hamas.

It is outrageous that Hamas spent decades and billions of dollars building tunnels under civilian homes and protected areas for the sole purpose of using Palestinian civilians as human shields. It is outrageous that Hamas does not allow civilians in their tunnels, that Hamas says and takes actions to create as many civilian deaths as possible—both its own and Israeli. The atrocities committed on Oct. 7 are outrageous. That Hamas fights in civilian clothes, intermixed within civilians, and launches rockets at Israeli civilians from Palestinian civilian areas is outrageous.

The sole reason for civilian deaths in Gaza is Hamas. For Israel's part, it's taken more care to prevent them than any other army in human history.”
