Had a great time welcoming visitors into our labs for @berlinscienceweek.bsky.social! It's always inspiring (and important!) to share our research with the public, and to see so much curiosity for how and why we do science 🧪🧬

Our latest work is out in Nature today. In this paper, we introduce an improved version of NanoSeq, a duplex sequencing protocol with <5 errors per billion bp in single DNA molecules, and use it to study the somatic mutation landscape of oral epithelium in >1000 people www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Somatic mutation and selection at population scale - Nature
A new version of nanorate DNA&nbsp;sequencing, with an&nbsp;error rate&nbsp;lower than five errors&nbsp;per billion base pairs&nbsp;and compatible with whole-exome and targeted capture, enables epidemiological-scale studies of somatic mutation and selection&nbsp;and&nbsp;the generation of high-resolution&nbsp;selection&nbsp;maps across coding and non-coding sites for many genes.

In an analysis of 1.2 million news stories about scholarly research, men-led papers were found to receive more attention overall and were heavily overrepresented in the top 5% of most covered studies. https://scim.ag/4o7l5a5
When women researchers publish, media attention doesn’t always follow

Now online! Optimizing stem cell infusion timing in the prevention of acute graft-versus-host disease
Optimizing stem cell infusion timing in the prevention of acute graft-versus-host disease
Adjusting the timing of stem cell infusion can reduce the incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The rhythmic fluctuations in inflammation levels before infusion dictate subsequent T cell responses, which may be a key factor underlying outcomes based on the time of day that transplantation occurs.

We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪

www.nature.com/articles/d41...
75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving
More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

Science Advances’ special issue on women’s health highlights a growing wave of research focusing on women’s unique biological and psychological experiences. Articles cover a range of studies from the interplay between menopause and Alzheimer’s risk to the menstrual cycle’s influence on the brain-heart connection. It also describes the opportunities pregnancy provides to research aspects of both physical and mental health. By prioritizing women’s unique physiological and psychological experiences, research can expand the frontiers of knowledge in ways that benefit everyone.
