I just asked ChatGPT to summarise recent studies on a specific question. It provided a reference that I couldn't find. I queried the reference. It then told me that "upon review, [the reference] does not exist."
We should NEVER use ChatGPT as a reliable source of information.

One of the funniest ironies of anti-trans Musk's support for AfD, is that they assign three genders to inanimate objects.

A few more letters... and we can finally write amino acid sequence with protein structure encoded by amino acid sequence? 🧬🤔😀

Hey, anyone out there who has done DAP-seq? Have you adapted the protocol? Does amp-DAP-seq work better than with binding libraries that retains DNA methylation?

Virgin skeet! I'm a plant molecular biologist interested in robust discussion, connection, dialogue and collaboration. I dabble in developmental and synthetic biology, genomics and epigenetics among others. Don't just follow me - talk to me!
