Despair seems like a reasonable course of action
'Some estimates are that up to 20% of the entire proteome can bind RNA and moreover that about 20% of all known protein complexes have an RNA component in them and you really have to think about how to deal with such large figures.'

'With the discovery of riboregulation, this puzzling situation recently changed profoundly for some of these non-canonical RBPs (...) This review will build on textbook features of classical RBPs and further aims to broaden the perspective of biologically meaningful RNA-protein interactions.'
Rethinking RNA-binding proteins: Riboregulation challenges prevailing views
The advent of system-wide proteomic approaches has largely expanded the number of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). This review discusses how recent discoveries are transforming our understanding of biolog...

When I talk about the invention of "AI" as an attempt to manifest the Infinite Money God, this is part of what I'm talking about. Private equity achieved the ability to make money without a good or service—AI is the attempt to make money without even customers or employees.
This is one of the things I hate most about modern capitalism. The idea of making money has been fully peeled away from delivering any kind of goods or services that people would want to pay money for.
What a thrill to be part of @talkingpointsmemo.com's series about the past 25 years of digital media! I wrote about why private equity goons destroyed Deadspin and why it matters.

A una mujer. Siempre es a una mujer. Y siempre son hombres.
La mujer estaba encerrada en una habitación con un candado por fuera, en condiciones de higiene deplorables, y presentaba magulladuras y quemaduras hechas con cigarrillos, además de síntomas de deshidratación y desnutrición severa

Metagenomics colleagues!

I'm looking for studies where both Illumina and ONT sequencing were performed on the same samples from soil, human, ruminent, and other sample types for comparison. Bonus if those studies include PacBio data.

Please help and share!

Para los que no hablen techbro, dice que cuando esté lo bastante aceptado con "criminales" su idea es ponernos a todos un robot permanentemente encima que decida lo que podemos y no podemos hacer y nos castigue si nos salimos del tiesto. Lo que se puede hacer lo decide él, que es el dueño del robot.

The Orange Fruit Dove decorates the treetops with its flame-like plumage. This species lives in forests on the islands of Fiji, where it munches on fruits and berries. Only males display bold orange plumage; females are green.

It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today.

Streets for people.

Aceptando la metáfora de que el género es una cárcel, los hombres en ningún caso seríamos sus presos. A lo sumo, estamos atados y condicionados por la cárcel como lo están los carceleros, que por hacer bien su rol reciben un beneficio económico y de estatus a cambio.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

La ola reaccionaria: mujeres, tened hijos y dedicaos a ellos, a cuidar de la casa y los maridos. Eso os hará más felices
Las abuelas toda la puta vida teniendo hijos, cuidando de la casa y los maridos: NIÑA, NO TE CASES, NO TENGAS HIJOS, TÚ GANA TU DINERO Y SE INDEPENDIENTE
"Es que las mujeres de ahora no quieren tener hijos".

Bueno, las de antes no sabemos si querían. Nadie les preguntaba, empezando por el marido.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Shereen. Shereen and her husband (a house painter) fled their home early in the war thinking it would only be for 2 days. She lost everything as well as many family members. Her main concern is getting her son, Ahmed, 4 into a kindergarten.

She’s not wrong.

When we’re born, we have about 300 bones, but over time, we end up with just 206, because many fuse together as we grow.

And here’s a fun fact: Bone is a living tissue that constantly renews itself. Your skeleton is completely new about every 7-10 years.
