Two new positions are available at the MPI for Evolutionary Biology to support development of our genomics facility. Both stand to become permanent. Both offer a ton of opportunity to engage in a wide range of creative science.

A new Nature Medicine study analyzing health records from >100 million people in the US offers compelling evidence that reactivation of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) ,the same virus that causes chickenpox and shingles may contribute to dementia risk.

every. time.

Wow! We should hang out more often!

Post your favourite Doctor Who. Wrong answers only

@dgermain21.bsky.social - fantastic work on LymphomaMAPs (microenv of DLBCL) looking at prognosis of CAR-T therapy. Showed that TEX archetype associated with signif worse outcome. Assoc with
• exhausted T-cells
• super-activated macrophages.

Vaccines have literally saved more than 150 million lives over the last 50 years and prevented much more morbidity but hold up guys somebody with a brain worm knows better

Excited to report our Blood Cancer Discovery
@theaacr.bsky.social article showing how DNA #methylation in #Burkitt #Lymphoma #BL impacts clinical outcome. Team effort co-led by @morinryan.bsky.social @sfu.ca group and our lab at @carrerasijc.bsky.social @ub.edu

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion.

Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more.

If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

I’m somehow on a Heritage Foundation mailing list (😂) and they sent a survey to see what we think of DOGE.

Who wants to offer some m-fing feedback?!?

Tomorrow is #RareDiseaseDay! Did you know that a disease is considered rare when it affects fewer than 1 in 2,000 people? But with 7,000+ rare diseases worldwide, they collectively affect 300M+ people.

"valr provides tools to read and manipulate genome intervals and signals, similar to the BEDtools suite."

I wonder if they considered naming it bedRtools?

Him right now: “grok: is there a LLM that can modify ancient proprietary COBOL subroutines on a production mainframe for me?”

If the NLM page does go down (long-term) there will be no further updates to the contents of the EBI mirror, though, right?

Remember that Europe (@ebi.embl.org) has mirrored all these services and they will keep on running. They look and feel a bit different but do the same thing. I think @ewanbirney.bsky.social should be able to confirm.
