A little fun with numbers on this Sunday, showing just how successful DNA really is. First, here's what DNA looks like. I'll draw your attention to the "rise" in DNA, that is, the distance between two basepairs, which is 3.4 Angstroms, also known as 3.4x10^-10 meters...

Adipose tissue retains an epigenetic memory of obesity after weight loss - Nature
Stable epigenetic changes indicate the existence of an obesogenic memory in mouse adipocytes that primes cells for pathological responses in an obesogenic environment and potentially contributes to th...

Could Bluesky be the replacement for Academic Twitter?

The current v1 Bluesky system is designed to scale to 1M users. And today we're going to hit 1M users!
We will, of course, keep pushing things and *try* to smoothly transition to the v2 Bluesky system later this year. It's designed for >10M users.
We just have to finish building the v2 system!

What a neat paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Women accumulate about 15 mutations in their healthy breast tissue every year, so mutational burden increases with age. Then you throw in pregnancy, and it suppresses mutation accumulation. In the epithelium but not in the stroma!
