@NucleomeTx@Enara_Bio & @rome_tx are delighted to be hosting the 2nd Annual #DarkGenome Symposium at @TheCrick#London on 13-14 Nov 2023.
We welcome submission of all abstracts covering Dark Genome science. https://t.co/s1cwVlbgPJ
Contrast the Lough Derg (Donegal) island in the foreground, swathed in highly species-rich wild natural rainforest, with the dark, uniform sitka deadzone behind.
We need a lot less of the second, and A LOT more of the first.
We need to plant many more native trees in urban spaces, and better protect and value existing ones. This helps nature and wildlife. It's #ClimateAction. It reduces floods, pollution and urban heating. And it improves our lives. More: https://t.co/Lf4hmg5SKa Via @nature_org
What is 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐬?
It's a new approach to study genome (e.g. transcriptional) regulation using 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 DNA.
In this 𝐌𝐨𝐥 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐥 paper, we've applied it to study 𝐒𝐨𝐱𝟐: https://t.co/l1FQh8DEvQ
A bumblebee can only fly for about 40 minutes between feeding. But we've lost 97% of our wiłdflower meadows. So each nectar-rich flower you plant in a windowbox or in your garden or community green spaces could be the pit stop that saves a bee 🐝
Factory ship Margiris is in Irish waters. It holds 6000 tonnes of fish at a time.
Context: Irelands inshore fishing fleet of 1200 boats has a mackerel quota of 400 tonnes per year. Margiris will negatively impact wildlife & deplete fish stock our communities rely on.

There are so many green spaces in our towns and villages that are over-mown or sprayed, but which could instead be boosting biodiversity and bringing nature back into our lives like this corner of Cambridge. RT if you agree 🐝
We're excited to be working with teachers again this term on the new #Shark ebook and learning activities being developed through the #Erasmus#Elasmo Digital Education Programme! If you work with primary level we would love to hear from you! https://t.co/PyzVAoewhH #GreenSchools
Came through the letterbox of a friend today. Quotes 15k deaths from vaccines from EU source. Those deaths all occurred within some time after vaccine; not due to vaccine. This is either plain ignorance, or more likely, opportunistic misrepresentation. Sickening far right grift.
Tomorrow, our students will take part in a Variant Classification Challenge where they will learn to interpret and classify variants produced by genomic sequencing of (hypothetical) patients with suspected rare diseases. This challenge has been developed by experts @GenuitySci
