Delighted to share the extraordinary 1st chapter of super talented Steffi's thesis, now published in @CommsBio We identified THE regulators of indica rice domestication associated miRNAs. Reached this far from blank in about 12 years and it was great fun https://t.co/TnTE8tXn0M

POV: You're at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Symposium on Quantitative Biology: AI in Biology and your brain is trying to process all the paradigm shifts.

The 90th year of #CSHLSYMP26 kicked off Tuesday May 26th with four opening talks by CSHL President Bruce Stillman, Jennifer Doudna @DoudnaJennifer @UCBerkeley, Alex Rives @biohub, Pushmeet Kohli @pushmeet @GoogleDeepMind and Hoifung Poon @hoifungpoon @MSFTResearch

CSHL Symposia have helped spark some of the most transformative breakthroughs in modern science.

The 1989 Symposium helped set the stage for the Human Genome Project. The 1978 Symposium on Recombinant DNA helped lay the groundwork for CRISPR gene editing.

History has a way of starting here.

This year, it's all about AI and its applications in biology research as well as clinical medicine. 

In all, the Symposium will feature 9 oral sessions with 53 talks and over 200 posters in 3 sessions. Major themes include AI & Regulatory Genomics, AI & Evolution, AI & Cells & Tissues, AI and Clinical Translation & Precision Oncology, Neuro AI, Scientific Agents & Multimodal Models, and AI & Proteins.

Scroll through for Day 1 highlights - part 1

What a way to open!

Delighted to have served as Instructor for BIO020: Dynamic Genome at UC Riverside this Winter—leading two sections and mentoring hands-on genetics research (PCR, recombinant DNA & a 5-week project). Grateful for the incredible student energy and overwhelmingly positive feedback!

[Monoswi Chakraborty @monoswi]

It’s a pleasure to see my former mentor, Prof. Shivaprasad honored with the prestigious TATA Transformation Prize.
Congratulations, Shiva @shivaprasad_pv

Always grateful for the mentorship, guidance, and scientific inspiration that shaped my scientific pursuits.

[National Centre for Biological Sciences @NCBS_Bangalore]

📢🌟We are very excited to share that Professor
@shivaprasad_pv is the Food Security Winner for the Tata Transformation Prize 2025 by @NYASciences
and @TataCompanies for his transformative work on developing climate-resilient rice varieties🌾

30 Essays to Make You Love Biology

Day 15. "Theory in Biology: Figure 1 or Figure 7?," by Rob Phillips.

This essay beautifully argues that theory should drive biological experiments, and not vice versa.

"Most of the time, if cell biologists use theory at all, it appears at the end of their paper, a parting shot from figure 7. A model is proposed after the experiments are done, and victory is declared if the model ‘fits’ the data."

But such an approach is misguided. As Henri Poincaré once said: "A science is built up of facts as a house is built up of bricks. But a mere accumulation of facts is no more a science than a pile of bricks is a house."

Physicists, mathematicians, theoreticians: Come work on biology. You can drive progress and guide experiments without ever picking up a pipette.

[Monoswi Chakraborty @monoswi]

Glad to be a part of the investigation!

Insect herbivores are one of the biggest enemies of rice plants. When insects attack, rice respond in several ways to deal with the damage.

Wound-induced small-peptide-mediated signaling cascade, regulated by OsPSKR, dictates balance between growth and defense in rice https://t.co/KIkxM64Bch

[National Centre for Biological Sciences @NCBS_Bangalore]

Latest paper from Dr P V Shivaprasad, Associate Prof at NCBS, unravelling small-peptide mediated signaling cascade of wound response in monocot plants.

🎉Congratulations to @shivaprasad_pv and team!

@buttaasif110 @harshithcy @shivaprasad_pv @NCBS_Bangalore Thanks Aasif

[Monoswi Chakraborty @monoswi]

Glad to be a part of this fascinating discovery. Congratulations @harshithcy and all other co-authors. It was a great research stint for me in the lab of @shivaprasad_pv at @NCBS_Bangalore

[Shiva prasad @shivaprasad_pv]

Happy to share a fantastic work from @harshithcy part I of his PhD thesis, now in @CellReports. We report a stepwise signalling cascade involving two different peptides in rice wound-responses. Rice activates growth very quickly post-wounding unlike dicots https://t.co/om5pR50knJ

It has been a privilege to work with @shivaprasad_pv for my PhD. It was absolute joy working to discover novel regulatory roles of small peptides and the signalling mediated by them. Thanks a lot to all the co-authors- @AvikKumarPal1 @Ashwin_KNair @monoswi @rajusteffi1.

A hallmark of sex is each parent transmits half of their genome through a recombined egg or sperm. What if this was not the case? Check our new paper @NatureGenet where we break this rule via diploid clonal gametes and develop polyploid genome design

Experimentalists in NY be like: "it's -20°F outside and the city has collapsed, but I don't care, I'll go to the lab to feed my cells"

Bioinformaticians in NY be like: "there's a chance that it might rain later and my cat is looking cute today, I guess I'm not exiting my cave"
