I am proud to be a Michigander who definitely voted for this as the sticker

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

The Michigan “I Voted” sticker is interesting. Go vote today and get your own.

@ChenxinLi2 Looking forward to seeing some glowing flowers too then :) I was looking at flashlights, nice to get your testimony they work well.

Canoed on the floor of Innerdalen, then hiked to the valley’s top

Up North last night the aurora was mostly dim. For a couple minutes though we caught the sky exploding with light. Not as vibrant as the night before, but more active and just as bright.

By learning to embed DNA k-mers and cells into a joint space, CellSpace improves single-cell ATAC-seq analysis in multiple tasks such as latent structure discovery, transcription factor activity inference, and batch effect mitigation.

My handheld shots could never do it justice, but seeing a solar eclipse from the path of totality is earth-shakingly cool. Driving down to Ohio was absolutely worth it. Included: video of me losing it at the moment of total eclipse.

Hi folks, in the lab we are looking for those genes which mutants are not displaying any visible phenotypic changes. If you like, please find more information below on how to share these with us or directly contact @NikeeShrestha2 #maizemeeting2024 #MGC2024
