@drmichaellevin @OKairra19658 @bladgolem I'd question that assumption!

@templeton_fdn Awesome!

@DrTomFroese Does this relate to sleep-wake cycles?

It has been a great privilege to work with @drmichaellevin and an amazing team of scientists at @wyssinstitute and @TuftsUniversity to learn how neurons grow and form connections within completely novel bodies! @LaurieONeill99 @mmsperry @LPiolopez @DrPatrickE & Tiffany Lin

[Michael Levin @drmichaellevin]

Ever wonder what a nervous system would look like if it self-assembled inside a novel being that hadn't faced a history of selection for its organism-level form and function? Or, perhaps you wondered how #Xenobots would look and act, or what their transcriptome would be like, if they had nervous systems?

Well, here's the first step: https://t.co/MVtFw0RcQg
"Engineered Living Systems With Self-Organizing NeuralNetworks: From Anatomy to Behavior and Gene Expression"

Our awesome team: led by @halehf: @LaurieONeill99, @mmsperry, @LPiolopez, @DrPatrickE, and Tiffany Lin.

The @TuftsUniversity and @wyssinstitute press releases are here, for summaries:

Call for papers for 'Artificial Life for Science and Engineering'

We seek work applying ALife concepts and tools to model real-world systems and engineer solutions—and assist scientific discovery through open-ended and curiosity-driven search.

@OdedRechavi Might affect gene therapy too :) https://t.co/6PVBzJUOot

[Patrick Erickson @DrPatrickE]

@EricTopol Probably matters for gene therapy too https://t.co/6PVBzJUgyV

@davidasinclair Do the DNA break repairs in your model result in changes in noncoding DNA sequences?

[Patrick Erickson @DrPatrickE]

@Madam_Mito @drmaclay Chris has a PhD https://t.co/n4kMFoWf1g

@slavov_n Do these mutations cause problems later on?

[Patrick Erickson @DrPatrickE]

@WallaceUcsf Is rapid mixing a process that they turn on and off? Or are they always mixing?

[Patrick Erickson @DrPatrickE]

@WallaceUcsf Is there a way to attend remotely?

[Patrick Erickson @DrPatrickE]

@alantomusiak @jpsenescence That's interesting, when is the spike?

[Patrick Erickson @DrPatrickE]

@jpsenescence Well some process seems to reset methylation patterns to a "ground zero" state during embryogenesis; we don't know what or how, but DNAm changes are undone. I have a preprint coming out on that soon. What other "damage" makes it through to the zygote? Any besides mutations?

[Patrick Erickson @DrPatrickE]

@leo_jwu @DiStefano_Lab Amazing work!!

[Patrick Erickson @DrPatrickE]

@drmichaellevin Is he friends with the crabo-dome?
