When I read the history of Waddington, I realized that, in using the epigenetic landscape model, this geology dropout student may have been trolling the field of biology!

On the event of James Watson's death, I highly recommend this 2023 commentary from @matthewcobb.bsky.social and Nathaniel Comfort with crucial new insights into the discovery of the double helix. (And also check out Cobb's brand new biography of Francis Crick) www.nature.com/articles/d41...
What Rosalind Franklin truly contributed to the discovery of DNA’s structure
Franklin was no victim in how the DNA double helix was solved. An overlooked letter and an unpublished news article, both written in 1953, reveal that she was an equal player.

Hot take — could this be a possible clue as to why @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social did so well in the #NYC election yesterday?

IT'S HAPPENING! 💥 I'm psyched to launch the collaboration between @qedscience.bsky.social & @openrxiv.bsky.social @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social! Preprint + q.e.d = your science is out there, and anyone can appreciate it. Let's care about making discoveries, and not on “getting published” (1/3) 👇

‘Exododus’ is an exodus of dodos. Not going to happen for many reasons.

Happy Election Day, New Yorkers
Imagine how much nicer New York would be if it contained a million fewer racists.

Really concerned for Jamaica, this looks like a really horrible situation, only a year after the Southwest of the island took the brunt of another damaging hurricane

Please let me know if you find any inaccuracies and I'll fix them. I've already updated one of the figures.

Amazing job opportunity at the @institutimagine.bsky.social, Head of the Genomics Platform.

I am adding an English translation of the opportunity, but fluency in French is a (reasonable) requirement for the position. Application link below.

Watching @wiringthebrain.bsky.social and @aylwyn-scally.bsky.social go at it in this thread, staying polite and respectful but challenging each other, gives me the old #ScienceYwitter vibes.

Good on you lads.

Looks like @leandrosboukas.bsky.social has been busy doing useful stuff. DNV detection in duos, very valuable in communities in which families are less stable.

Identification of de novo variants from parent-proband duos via long-read sequencing
While de novo variants cause many Mendelian disorders, their detection currently requires sequencing of the proband and both biological parents. This is not feasible when only one parent is available,...

This will revolutionise our understanding of transcriptional regulation and functional non-coding variants.
