@NatureBiotech But, genomic double-strand break repair tends to integrate whatever DNA is handy. I am not sure “longer transgene expression” is always a good idea.
@COag_guy@simonmaechling Don’t you find it even a little sus that the companies making billions selling fossil fuels continue to profit while we all watch weather become more extreme year on year?
@KentsisResearch@OmicsOmicsBlog@slavov_n PhiX is the easiest thing to sequence. We need a new spike-in standard that reflects the challenging DNA motifs to really assess what “whole genome” sequencing means.
Andrew Sullivan: "I do not care about the economy if the government in this country claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail... The last person who did that in this country was called George III."
I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency.
I think it's a story everyone needs to know.
1/ So a🧵with the highlights from the speech.
@krassenstein More advanced democracies have ranked choice voting which favors candidates with views less representative of the extremes of their political parties toward those in the middle.
@CellCellPress Important work elucidating autoimmune sex bias factors. One note: wild type controls were given water, not DOX, so any potential contributions from microbiome interactions could potentially be obscured.
@QuantaMagazine The lovely graphic perpetuates a common misunderstanding about exons - many exons do not code for protein. The dangly bits on the ends of precursor and mRNA in the cartoon (presumably UTRs or untranslated regions) are most definitely exonic, as are spliced long non-coding RNAs.
@dwidmaier@dr_alphalyrae Do you think it might be easier to “biologize” engineering? How much progress on getting machines to self-replicate and evolve over time?
