This is very cool @odedrechavi.bsky.social. Do I understand correctly that it works with the text of the manuscript, not with figures or data? My concern with current production rate is that papers may be written skilfully and claims are clear, but they are not adequately supported by the data...
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 (thread 👇)

Congratulations Koichi Sato and @puckknipscheer.bsky.social for a biochemistry tour de force! Sooo many in vitro experiments, pinning down step by step a mechanism to resolve G4 structures. We used KOs and quantitative G4 CUT&Tag to corroborate mechanism in mouse ESC.

Fantastic collaboration with @puckknipscheer.bsky.social 👏! Congrats to all!
New work from the Knipscheer group published in @science.org reveals a mechanism involving RNA and DNA repair proteins that helps cells remove G-quadruplex structures. G4 structures are knot-like formations in DNA that can cause damage if left unresolved. www.hubrecht.eu/cells-untie-dna-knots/

Do you sometimes feel research is 🎶 on step forward and two steps back 🎶? Well the good thing about a marathon is that no matter how slow you go, you are always getting closer to the finish line 😅. #stockholmmarathon ✌️

We are looking for MSc students interested in joining us for a bioinformatics thesis project. The task is to analyze existing epigenomics datasets, explore data from different technical and biological angles, generate reproducible code and figures to be incorporated into manuscripts #jobalert

Climate-change deniers use Grok AI to write a climate-change denier article, and published that in a climate-change denial journal.
They even had to 'steer' Grok a couple of times, because its text was not climate-change denier enough.
