Excited to share our new paper on experimental and computational methods for studying #DNAmethylation with Infinium arrays in low-input samples, even single cells! We dived into the nuances of chromatin states and germ cell development. https://t.co/R7F8nA9u7P

A central question for our upcoming, pre-symptomatic genomics future is becoming clear: how much is a life worth?

Hello Everyone!
We are looking for a post-doctoral fellow #postdoc to join our research team and to investigate the interactions between the environment, gut microbiome and mental health.
Thank you for helping us spread the word!

Are you using AAV to deliver genes to the nervous system? Good news / bad news. https://t.co/rugNaVdOln

First the bad news: we found AAV can shrink dendrites and disrupt synaptic transmission. The good news? We figured out why it happens, and can tell you how to avoid it. (1/n)

Super excited about our new BioRxiv paper. If you are interested in microglia gene expression and want an easy way (no programming required!) to compared your gene lists to gene lists from the literature - check it out.
