A small 🧵 encouraging people to publish protocols.
Our #AutoSpectral release has made me reflect on how much the community tends to appreciate protocol papers. People rarely present protocols as their main achievements, but they are often the most impactful work.

This was a nice skeetorial to read over morning coffee. It prompted a conversation with my husband (not scientist) about #mitochondia and all its ancient bacterial craziness.
Excited to share our latest work in collaboration with the @edreznik.bsky.social lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social, where we describe functionally dominant mitochondrial DNA mutations in patient tumors. So, what is functional dominance in mitochondrial genetics, I hear you ask?

This is interesting given ongoing hype about #intermittentfasting and health benefits. This study basically says… no? But also, previous studies were on men, and this one is on women. Another great argument for not exclusively using one sex in studies, and then generalising to the other!
