Genomics R&D @NGI 🧬Equine asthma research 🐎🫁 Animal lover🐎🐕🐦 Also like to hug trees🌲😄
Excited to share the preprint of our latest equine asthma study! We characterized circulating cell-free RNA in healthy and asthmatic horses and identified both immune signature shifts and transcriptional signatures consistent with airway remodeling in asthmatic horses🐎🐴
Circulating cell-free RNA reflects inflammatory and airway remodeling signatures in an equine model of asthma https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.25.684590v1

HULK ADAM SMASHES DIRE WOLVES.

Man alive this vexes me, and I am a bit sweary and irritable in this. Enjoy.

Dire wolves remain very extinct
Despite what you are being fed, de-extinction is a con, full of gloss, bullshit and ghoulish greed.

Colossal Biosciences' 'dire wolves' are the latest in a long tradition of dressing up or otherwise modifying existing animals and pretending they are new or extinct species. The jackalope was a famous example, concocted in the 1930s by a taxidermist in Wyoming.

We have known for a long time that CRISPR works - gene editing - “traditional” indel inducing, base editing and funkier types. We have a set of traits in a set of organisms where we know causal genes or alleles, and the consequences of knockouts.

I got my views on mammoths down. Enjoy.

The NGI OpenLab in Uppsala is a beta test for what we hope can be established at the other @scilifelab.bsky.social sites Sweden. If you are not Uppsala-based, but interested in the concept please reach out to us: ngisweden.scilifelab.se/contact/
