‘Biotech Barbie’ says the time has come to consider CRISPR babies. Do scientists agree?
A company’s plan to edit the genomes of human embryos worries some researchers — but it might reflect the changing attitudes towards the controversial approach.

Giant DNA viruses encode a hallmark translation initiation complex of eukaryotic life
In contrast to living organisms, viruses were long thought to lack protein synthesis machinery and instead depend on host factors to translate viral transcripts. Here, we discover that giant DNA virus...

Apropos of nothing....
Peer-review should be rigorous, not rude.
Critique the work, not the author team.
Explain, don’t sneer.
Build science up, don’t beat the authors down.
Respect in peer-reviews isn’t optional — it’s how good research gets better.

Please Please don’t put sanctions on Israeli academia.
I’m feeling it and it hurts and distresses me💔.
I and the majority of the academic community oppose the government and its actions. We are fighting every day to change things for the better and we need your help!
Please don’t weaken us🙏

Tomorrow at 19:30 a huge demonstration in Tel Aviv - The Israeli Academia demands to end the war NOW. These horrors are unbearable and must stop.

These probably have crazy enzymes and genomes. I’ll look into it🧬
BEHOLD! One of Earth's greatest lineages of life: the lil wiggle arm guys, Meteora.
These single-celled critters, originally found in deep-sea sediments, are SO DIFFERENT from other lifeforms on Earth that they're likely in their own kingdom (as in, the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom etc). 🧪🌿

After all these reports of authors adding language instructions for LLM reviews in their papers I wanted to check this myself and I downloaded the .tex source from one of these papers.
Here is an example.

Intuition: one of the best topics in science and mathematics - what does it mean, where does it come from, when does it hit us? A new take on it from Yuval Ebstein, is it just belief? Maybe it’s belief with some subconscious understanding we can’t yet write down. #TCTeAC

Look at this crazy sarcoma genome! So many translocations, and it thrives!
We were able to assemble it due to the ultra long optical genome mapping reads (N50>150kb).
We mapped genomewide #DNAdamage before and after oxidative stress. Its not random!
