For 50 years, Voyageurs National Park has brought millions of people from around the world to see all that the Land of 10,000 Lakes has to offer - remote island camping, paddling, world-class fishing, and abundant winter activities.

Happy birthday, Voyageurs!

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.

New publication from the lab! We used a machine learning approach to predict chromatin loop dynamics during human spermatogenesis - and find these structures do not direct gene expression but may drive the positioning of recombination events

CTCF-anchored chromatin loop dynamics during human meiosis - BMC Biology
Background During meiosis, the mammalian genome is organised within chromatin loops, which facilitate synapsis, crossing over and chromosome segregation, setting the stage for recombination events and...

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.
 
By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.

I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.

Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

New paper. Why do we try to remove increasingly large numbers of lymph nodes in colon cancer surgery? Here we follow up our BJC 2022 paper with ~370K patients in England and USA. Only 9 LNs are required to stage the cancer.

We’re focused on feeding our kids.

Investing in our schools.

Making sure child care is affordable.

Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

What DNA variants alter transcription factor (TF) binding affinity? Here, we describe a new workflow baal-nf. We used it to trawl through 6017 ChIP-Seq data sets for 558 TFs and 46 genotyped cell lines, finding 298,783 allele-specific binding sites (ASBs).
