Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Any online, free teaching resources using the UCSC Genome Browser? 🧬
I’m preparing a class for seniors and MSc students from different fields of bio. I’m looking for exercises that students can take on their own to explore the genome browser and learn about genomics.

🩸🧬 Anyone using *dried blood spot* kits for collecting samples?
The kits we are currently using yield low DNA concentrations. I would appreciate recommendations for more reliable kits or suggestions on how to optimize our protocol to improve yield.
