Congratulations to @riohermantara on passing his PhD. 🍾🎉
Some excellent work on targeted gene knock-in using advanced CRISPR techniques. Let’s get this in print Rio!! 📖
A big thanks to @RosserLab and @ClareRollie for examining the thesis.

Dear Journals,
Stop hiding the middle authors' names behind a "+" or "...." or "see all." I realize it makes the page look nicer, but it's the EXACT OPPOSITE of promoting collaboration and interdisciplinary work.

@eLife and @PNASNews in particular should know better!

Sadly, this University still pays its women 14.7% less than men

I need a break from writing and I need a detox from all this Covid tweets (which always fascinates and distracts my attention).. so let me do a little #CRISPRthread on #CRISPR #Cas9 #genomeediting

NEW FAST SPREADING COVID19 VARIANTS - THE SCIENTIFIC DATA
We take a deep dive into the data describing the rapid spread of the three new #coronavirus variants from the UK, South Africa and Brazil. Explained simply for non-scientists https://t.co/DSMdVQoJIG

@maxvcg @LugerLab A crime against chromatin indeed! Looks like the artist has SARS-CoV-2 on their mind...

NEW CORONAVIRUS VARIANTS - EXPLAINED SIMPLY
We made a video explaining the basic science behind #covid19 tests, #coronavirus mutations and the new #SARSCov2 strains that are causing concern.

📽️ | WATCH | At @UofGSoLS we have developed a new practical to help our students develop their skills and perform #CRISPR gene editing in the lab.

Watch @epigeneticsguru's film to learn more, and check the description for info on studying Genetics/MCB.

Congratulations to @doudna_lab and @e__charpentier for winning this year’s #NobelPrize in Chemistry!
Did you know that we teach our Genetics and MCB students @UofGMVLS how to perform #CRISPR gene editing in the laboratory?
We just made a video about it!

Delighted to be awarded a Research Incentive Grant from @CarnegieUni ! My first independent research dollars to work on more things bone marrow and CRISPR with @DalbyMatthew @ManuelMime @chromatingroup @UofGCeMi

@hannahdonnelly_ @CarnegieUni @DalbyMatthew @ManuelMime @UofGCeMi Woo hoo! Congrats Hannah 🍾🎉
Let’s catch up soon 😁

Oxford’s Covid-19 vaccine produces a good immune response, reveals new study.
Teams at @VaccineTrials and @OxfordVacGroup have found there were no safety concerns, and the vaccine stimulated strong immune responses: https://t.co/krqRzXMh7B

[Adam West @chromatingroup]

A good report on the state of play for @JennerInstitute’s #COVID19 vaccine. Huge efforts are underway and the first UK trial results will emerge over the next few weeks, although it may take months to get enough data as community infection rates have fallen in the UK

Oxford’s Covid-19 vaccine, devised by Sarah Gilbert, is months ahead of the competition https://t.co/m8PiQs45pD

Want to create functional annotation of gene lists created from an #RNAseq project? We just published a walk through tutorial video on the DAVID #bioinformatics suite. It covers gene ontology, pathways and more.
