⚠️ Paper alert: Using a novel CRISPR screening approach, we mapped the entire regulatory network controlling Xist—key for X-chromosome inactivation.
👉 We discover how sex and development signals are decoded at a single gene locus.

Reporter CRISPR screens decipher cis-regulatory and trans-regulatory principles at the Xist locus - Nature Structural & Molecular Biology
Here Schwämmle et al. develop CRISPR reporter screens to map transcription-factor-regulatory element interactions at the Xist locus, revealing a two-step mechanism integrating developmental and X-dosage signals to initiate X-chromosome inactivation.

While helping out on a cool genomics project recently, I came to realise I’d been taught a pretty big inaccuracy about the events that occur at fertilization. I suspect that almost everyone reading this has the same misapprehension, so let’s do some learning together: 1/

Amazing documentary, and a strong slap in the face. If you eat fish, make sure you know where it comes from.
We already have one industry – bottom trawling – tearing up the ocean floor & wiping out sea life.
We don't need another one 🙅

It is sad that even basic research needs to be defended with utility. For me, basic research is in the same category as art: civilized societies can't do without it, because we all want to know who we are and what our place in the natural world is -- questions that only science can answer.

Just your friendly reminder that there are alternatives to Mapping apps owned by big companies...
One of them is called OpenStreetMap -- it is crowdsourced and the data is open and non-commercial. Via the API, there are downloadable app versions for your phone.

With International Women's Day coming up before too long, any chance someone is building a gender pay gap bot for Bluesky like the one that used to exist on that other app? 😁 www.bbc.com/news/uk-engl...
